Local employment sectors

Education

Four elementary schools, Macopin Middle School and West Milford High School support teaching, support, transportation, custodial, food-service and administrative work.

Municipal & public works

The township's unusually large land area creates needs in roads, equipment, recycling, engineering, parks, water-related maintenance and public safety.

Healthcare & veterinary

Dental, physical therapy, chiropractic, optometry, pharmacy and veterinary practices create clinical and front-office positions.

Trades & property services

Septic, well, plumbing, landscaping, roofing, pest-control and excavation businesses are especially important in a rural/lake-community market.

Restaurants & visitor services

Dining, inns, marinas, boat rentals and recreation businesses support seasonal and year-round hospitality work.

Retail & automotive

ShopRite, hardware, pharmacies, auto repair and specialty retail provide local sales, technician and customer-service roles.

Search beyond one ZIP code

West Milford uses multiple postal names and ZIP codes, including West Milford, Hewitt and Newfoundland. Job seekers should search by municipality and nearby community names rather than relying on 07480 alone. Always verify the actual worksite because “West Milford area” can include businesses outside township boundaries.
