MANAGER 4 WASTE MANAGEMENT

A numbered management title deployed across State departments, with the agency and often the specific function appended — Manager 2, Department of Transportation, Roadway Design and Manager 4, Environmental Protection, Natural Resources, Wildlife are the same title at work in very different places.

The number is the level of managerial responsibility, not a difference in subject. Codes in this family without a published specification are filled by appointment rather than from an eligible list, which is common for senior management positions reporting into a division director.
