  • 178 of 188 open postings analyzed (last week 132); 52 newly added postings read, 10 couldn't be read (bot-blocked or empty pages), 6 closed postings dropped.
  • P.Eng. (Canada) jumped from 5 to 29 jobs (16 required) as more Canadian utility, OEM and consultancy postings (Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, ENMAX, Hatch, Qualus Canada) joined the list.
  • CISSP rose from 4 to 7 jobs; GICSP and GIAC GRID each rose from 1 to 3, driven by new OT-cybersecurity postings at GE Vernova and Hitachi Energy.
  • PMP rose from 10 to 13 jobs and stays the top certification; NICET (2) and ISA/IEC 62443 certification (1) appear for the first time.
  • Testing & commissioning (109) and P&C design/schemes (84) remain the top technical skills; SCADA/RTU/substation automation rose from 38 to 55.
  • AutoCAD/MicroStation more than doubled (10 to 23); SKM PowerTools (28) and ETAP (27) remain the most requested software.
  • Utility experience rose from 68 to 101 jobs; technician diploma/associate's accepted rose from 2 to 6.

The positioning the plan recommends: protection, commissioning, and event-analysis expertise with secure substation communications capability.

Read a posting for the evidence it asks for — a settings package, a fault study, a COMTRADE review, a network drawing — and match it to a portfolio piece. Do not treat a job title as a claim that the skill is already held.
