What the Superintendent Parks and Forestry family covers
Superintendent Parks and Forestry covers 4 title codes arranged into 4 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
New Jersey splits environmental work across Environmental Protection, Agriculture, the county mosquito commissions and local utilities authorities, which is why families in this area often carry both state and local title codes. Field titles pair seasonal outdoor work with permitting and enforcement duties, so the same series can require a technical degree at one rung and a commercial driving or pesticide applicator credential at another. Water and sewer titles in particular are concentrated in municipal utilities authorities rather than in state service.
