Before You Apply
This is a 24/7 operational role supporting real-time electricity markets and power generation assets.
Successful candidates must be comfortable working a rotating schedule that includes:
12-hour shifts
Days and nights
Weekends
Statutory holidays
This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in fast‑paced operational environments where accuracy, accountability, and timely decision‑making are critical.
Similar to a control room, trading floor, system operations centre, or emergency response environment, the work is time‑sensitive and requires a high level of focus and attention to detail.
In addition to base compensation, this position offers overtime opportunities and shift premiums.
About Arcobi
Arcobi is a Calgary‑based technology company helping power producers and energy asset owners make better decisions through real‑time market intelligence and AI‑powered software.
As electricity markets become increasingly complex, Arcobi provides the tools and expertise needed to help clients optimize operations, respond to market signals, and maximize the value of their generation assets.
What This Role Actually Does
At its core, the Electricity Market Dispatcher helps power generators participate successfully in electricity markets.
You will monitor real‑time market activity, coordinate dispatch instructions from system operators such as AESO and ERCOT, communicate with customers, and ensure all actions are completed accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with market rules.
Every shift, you will be responsible for helping clients respond appropriately to changing market conditions while maintaining accurate records and ensuring regulatory compliance.
What "Dispatch" Means
In electricity markets, dispatch refers to instructions that determine when and how much electricity a generating asset should produce.
For example:
The grid operator may instruct a power plant to increase production because demand is rising.
The grid operator may require a generator to reduce output because market conditions have changed.
An operational issue may require immediate communication between the ISO and the asset owner.
The Electricity Market Dispatcher helps coordinate these activities, ensuring information is communicated clearly, actions are documented accurately, and market requirements are met.
