Position Spotlight: Load Dispatcher
LADWP Load Dispatchers help direct the transfer of power from Department generating stations to the homes of our customers. Based out of the Energy Control Center, Load Dispatchers exercise centralized control over electric transmission and distribution lines, as well as other equipment of the Power System. These team members oversee the operation of the Bulk Electric and Distribution Systems to maintain the safe, efficient delivery of power to customers while upholding reliable grid operations that follow North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards. Load Dispatchers are constantly in-tune with what lines need to be removed from service, or restored to service, during both routine and emergency work.
“My favorite part of being a Load Dispatcher is the problem-solving and comradery. Every shift, there will be similar jobs with a slight twist that may require your expertise. There’s nothing boring or mundane about the day-to-day work we do, and the teamwork in the room is amazing. We can draw on the experience of other Load Dispatchers to help each other develop a solution. If you enjoy problem-solving, teamwork, and a rewarding work environment that challenges you to be better, then becoming a Load Dispatcher is right for you.”
Jerome Caldito, Load Dispatcher, Energy Control Center

“The engineering students inspired me the most because they reminded me why I chose engineering as my career. Seeing so many passionate, driven individuals who look like me, pushing boundaries, and supporting each other, made me feel a deep sense of belonging. Their resilience in the face of challenges and their excitement for innovation reignited my own motivation. Hearing their stories, sharing experiences, and witnessing their ambition inspires me.”
