About AHEAD

We are building a deeper Operational Technology capability for clients in manufacturing, energy, utilities, healthcare, transportation, and other industries where uptime, safety, and resilience matter.

The Role

The Principal Technical Consultant, Operational Technology is a senior technical leader and trusted advisor, and the primary technical resource on OT Assessments and SRDP (strategy, roadmap, design, and plan) engagements. This is a hands-on role. You will lead technical discovery, facilitate workshops, analyze industrial environments, build architecture and roadmap deliverables, guide delivery teams, and present recommendations to client leaders. You should be equally comfortable discussing a PLC network with an automation engineer, an operating model with plant leadership, and investment priorities with a CISO or CIO.
