ASSISTANT SUPERVISOR, BUREAU OF PURCHASE
Assistant Supervisor, Bureau of Purchase sits in the competitive class of New Jersey's state civil service, so reaching it runs through testing and an eligible list instead of a straight hire.
It lists a bachelor's degree as the baseline, with an experience-based path open to those who do not hold the degree. The published schedule for this title runs $75,474 to $105,655, but it is frozen at an older rate and these titles are typically paid off-schedule, so actual pay is often higher, and state payroll lists a single employee in the title, at Treasury.
