What the Standards and Procedures Technician family covers

New Jersey classifies Standards and Procedures Technician as a 4-level series holding 5 separate title codes. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

This family does not sit cleanly in one occupational group. New Jersey's classification plan carries a long tail of titles created for a specific program, a specific facility or a single consolidated local post, and they keep their own codes even when only one position exists. Reading the individual specifications below is the fastest way to see what the work actually is, since the family name alone will not tell you.

The ladder, ordered by pay

Sorted by pay instead of by title number, the Standards and Procedures Technician family stacks up as follows. Here the numbering happens to agree with the pay order, which is not guaranteed elsewhere in New Jersey's plan.

The distance from the bottom of Standards and Procedures Technician 1 to the top of Standards and Procedures Technician 4 is $74,794, an increase of about 112% over the entry minimum.

What each title does

The specifications themselves are the clearest guide to what separates these titles. Here is how each one opens.

Getting in: the stated requirements

Across the 5 titles we have parsed, the education requirements read as a master's degree on 5 of them. Stated experience runs from 1 year at the lowest rung to 3 at the highest, which is the main thing separating one level from the next.

On how the jobs are filled: 5 are competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional examination.

Who actually employs these titles

60 people appear on the state payroll under 5 of these titles, at 9 agencies. Treasury alone accounts for about 62% of them.

  • Treasury — 37 employees
  • Human Services — 10 employees
  • Children and Families — 5 employees
  • Corrections — 2 employees
  • Environmental Protection — 2 employees
  • Board of the Public Utilities — 1 employee

Those are the 6 largest of 9 agencies employing this family.

Median actual pay varies across the family, from $79,201 for Standards and Procedures Technician 1 up to $136,605 for Standards and Procedures Technician 4. Those are medians of what people are really paid, not schedule minimums and maximums.

State payroll only, deduplicated by payroll title; local employers file separately, so a family with local codes looks smaller here than it is. How this is counted.

How the pay is set

Titles in this family are paid on the A-P-R-S salary schedule. See every step in that schedule. Bargaining is handled by CWA. Union contracts and rights are collected here.

Where these jobs exist
