No invented openings: NJTGO only presents a specific position when a current employer, school, government or active employment source supports it. Job status, pay, schedules, application instructions and deadlines can change quickly, so always verify the opening before applying.
Current job snapshot: Specific openings below were reviewed on August 27, 2026. Liberty Township's advertised 2026 summer-recreation positions had a March 1 application deadline and are therefore not shown as currently open. Standard commercial employer listings do not include external commercial website links; official public employment resources may be linked directly.

Education Employment
Because Independence and Liberty share Great Meadows Regional School District, school employment is one of the most direct local public-sector career paths.
Great Meadows Regional School District
The district employs teachers, paraprofessionals, cafeteria staff, administrators, business-office staff, custodial/facilities employees, substitutes and other school personnel.
Hackettstown Public Schools
Students from the shared district continue to Hackettstown High School, making Hackettstown another nearby education-employment market for Great Meadows residents.
New Jersey Education Careers
Teaching and many school-support positions can require New Jersey credentials, criminal-history clearance, residency compliance or role-specific certification.
Seasonal, Recreation & Event Employment
Island Dragway
Motorsports creates recurring seasonal/weekend demand for event operations, track safety, technical inspection, concessions, staging, guest service and related race-day work.
Liberty Township Recreation
Liberty's 2026 hiring cycle included lifeguard, beach manager, summer recreation counselor, summer recreation director and recreation assistant positions. The posted deadline was March 1, so these are not current August openings, but the list shows the types of seasonal roles that may recur in future years.
Farms & Greenhouses
Great Meadows agriculture can create seasonal work in planting, greenhouse operations, farm-market sales, harvest, landscaping, delivery and property maintenance.
Best timing: For summer recreation and farm work, begin checking local employers well before the season starts. Liberty Township's 2026 summer positions, for example, were recruited months before the August peak season.
Municipal & County Government Jobs
Neither township should be represented as having a live municipal opening unless one is specifically posted, but both maintain employment-application resources and Warren County maintains a current public job board.
Independence Township
The township publishes an official employment application through its Clerk's Office forms. Check current municipal notices before assuming a position is available.
Liberty Township
Liberty publishes an employment application and periodically recruits for recreation and other township roles. Seasonal positions should be checked early in the calendar year.
Warren County Personnel
The official county employment page currently includes public safety, human services, library, health and clerical opportunities with application deadlines and salary information.
Current Warren County Examples
- Recruit salary: $45,000
- New-hire pay posted: $43,689 / $20.92 per hour
- Salary posted: $72,846
- Starting range: $33,299–$37,152
