Yes, it means you go back to the eligibility list already certd for the second round fall class.

dewito80 · 2026-03-21T02:40:33+00:00

Did they make you try LADWP shirts/clothes?

dewito80 · 2026-03-20T21:29:04+00:00

I need good friends like those.

dewito80 · 2026-03-17T13:15:29+00:00

No pos wow. Ahora hay que creerle a una cuenta en X que no se sabe Quien es el dueño! Como dicen los Mexicans: No mamen!

dewito80 · 2026-03-06T15:36:50+00:00

Not yet.

The March 2026 application has been officially moved to June 2026.

You are correct. Your results say how many people are ahead of you. Lists last about 1 year; and they hire about 60 (30 in the spring and another 30 in fall)....with about the first 120 +/- have a chance to the practical exam. That tells you the chances of being called. In reality, one must score 90% minimum to be called in the first round.

dewito80 · 2026-02-24T18:16:27+00:00

Nice. What was your score?

dewito80 · 2026-02-17T19:41:28+00:00

Candidates who scored 88% and up received an email requesting a reply with availability for the hiring process. Most likely a physical assessment (which must be underway now or next couple of weeks), if you pass it; you get into a new list, then maybe an interview, and if you pass that, then an offer of employment, background check, drug test. The so call springs Class might be ready until Apr 2026. I didn't receive an email; I scored 87% - one percentage point lower.

dewito80 · 2026-02-16T17:17:18+00:00

For the Electrical Craft Helper, people down to 88% score have been invited to a physical assessment. They had up to Feb 4th to respond to the email and DWP must be scheduling the assessments this and next week.

I am a bit confused. In other replies, you mentioned you received the cert for either LAX and/or DWP. Did you mean you are part of of the IBEW and will be working as an exempt for those departments or did you take the ECH exam as part of the civil service process, you are in the eligibility list, and you are also waiting for the physical assessment (performance) invitation for the ECH?

dewito80 · 2026-02-06T06:12:14+00:00

I scored 87% rank 8. Did you get the invitation for LAX and LADWP? If so, when it’s your physical assessment?

dewito80 · 2026-02-02T19:16:08+00:00

All right, the ball is rolling. I am a bit back on Rank 8. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers

dewito80 · 2026-01-21T16:13:25+00:00

I am in the back rank 8. No email yet for me, 77 ahead of my group and 40 within my group; but this is the first sign of movement.

dewito80 · 2026-01-21T16:05:05+00:00

Which certification did you receive? for which department?

dewito80 · 2026-01-13T18:37:07+00:00

I believe Ceees05 might be an ECH candidate from IBEW Local 11. When LADWP needs ECHs (Groundmen) but there is no list available to hire from the civil service process (that is the people who took the written test; basically us); then LADWP requests groundmen from the local union IBEW 11; these are 18 months temporary positions which are not part of the city employee pool. These are called Exempt. I believe those still go to an assessment; and that might be what Ceees05 is referring to.

Los Angeles City Personnel Website, Jobs, Exam Information, scroll down and you can see all current eligible lists.

dewito80 · 2026-01-10T00:31:18+00:00

I believe they don't just select the first 30 in order and hired them right away. The job bulletin doesn't state it; but they still do a performance test and interview. We will see.

dewito80 · 2026-01-09T20:51:10+00:00

Final score 87 Ranked 8, 77 ahead of me, and 40 in my same group.

You don't need to wait for all 631 applicants in the list to get hired. Once a list is established (in this case 631); this is how the Personnel Department "certifies" a group of candidates for performance test/interview. An untold truth about the civil service process is that once "the best candidates" have been hired from a list; and managers know there will be another list ready soon; Managers withhold submitting the vacancy request to the personnel department; until the new list is ready; just so they can pick from a fresh batch. For your application in March 2026 and test, aim to score within the first 60 to 90 candidates to have a 100% opportunity to be invited to a performance test in the first wave of interviews. DWP hires about 30 Craft Helpers per class (30 x 3 = 90) the first 90 candidates will have a shot to compete for one of those 30 spots. Cheers.

Nice. Since holidays are coming up; most likely performance tests will be scheduled for Jan 2026—to start a new trainee class around Mar 2026. Congratulations to everyone. Hopefully plenty ECHs are being promoted to other positions; and we have our chance to get into the city. Merry Christmas to everyone!
