We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.
The opportunity
Organizations are connecting industrial operations, modernizing control environments and integrating OT with enterprise technology. These changes create new cybersecurity, resilience and regulatory challenges across critical infrastructure and industrial sectors.
As an OT Cybersecurity Manager in Technology Consulting, you will lead client engagements that assess, design and improve cybersecurity for Operational Technology and Industrial Control System environments. You will combine practical OT security knowledge with engagement leadership, client advisory, team development and business development. You will work across engineering, operations, cybersecurity and technology teams to help clients protect critical operations while supporting safety, availability and reliability.
Your key responsibilities
- Lead OT cybersecurity engagements, including maturity and risk assessments, architecture and configuration reviews, vulnerability assessments, security strategy, transformation roadmaps and implementation support.
- Assess industrial environments that may include ICS, SCADA, DCS, PLC, RTU, HMI, SIS and IIoT technologies, industrial networks and supporting infrastructure.
- Guide the design and implementation of practical OT security controls, including network segmentation, zones and conduits, defense in depth, system hardening, secure remote access, asset visibility, security monitoring and incident response capabilities.
- Apply recognized OT cybersecurity frameworks and standards, including ISA/IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82. Apply NIST CSF and sector-specific requirements when relevant to the client environment.
- Lead client workshops and technical discussions with operational, engineering, cybersecurity and executive stakeholders. Translate technical findings into clear operational and business risk implications.
- Manage engagement scope, workplans, resources, risks, quality, timelines and budgets. Keep client and EY stakeholders informed of progress and expected outcomes.
- Lead, coach and develop engagement team members. Review deliverables and promote a collaborative, quality-focused and safety-aware working environment.
- Build trusted client relationships and identify opportunities where EY can provide additional value.
- Support business development through proposals, client presentations, solution shaping, methodology development, thought leadership and reusable assets.
- Stay current on OT threat activity, industrial vulnerabilities, evolving regulations, security technologies and leading practices.
Skills and attributes for success
- Deep understanding of OT and ICS cybersecurity principles and the operational priorities that distinguish industrial environments from enterprise IT.
- Ability to lead complex client engagements and communicate with plant, engineering, security and executive stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of industrial network architectures, industrial protocols and security controls used in OT environments.
- Ability to turn technical observations into practical, prioritized recommendations that consider safety, availability, reliability and business continuity.
- Strong project management, analytical, problem-solving, facilitation, written communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams.
To qualify for the role, you must have
- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Industrial Automation or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Approximately 5 or more years of relevant cybersecurity, OT security, industrial automation or related experience. HR should calibrate the final threshold to the approved U.S. rank and compensation structure.
- Experience leading or managing OT cybersecurity assessments, architecture reviews, security improvement programs or implementation initiatives.
- Practical knowledge of OT and ICS environments, industrial networking and systems such as SCADA, DCS, PLC, RTU or HMI.
- Experience applying ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82 or comparable OT cybersecurity guidance.
- Experience developing high-quality client reports, presentations, roadmaps, security designs, policies, standards or implementation documentation.
- Experience leading teams, managing client expectations and delivering work within agreed timelines and budgets.
- Ability and willingness to travel based on client and project needs.
Ideally, you'll also have
- Hands-on experience with OT monitoring, asset visibility or threat detection platforms such as Nozomi Networks, Claroty, Dragos, Armis, Microsoft Defender for IoT, Cisco Cyber Vision or comparable technologies.
- Experience in one or more industrial sectors such as power and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, chemicals, mining, transportation, water or other critical infrastructure.
- Experience with OT incident response, cyber resilience, threat modeling, security testing or vulnerability management in industrial environments.
- Relevant certifications such as GICSP, ISA/IEC 62443, GRID, CISSP, CISM, CISA, CCNA or comparable credentials.
- Experience supporting pursuits, proposals, account development, methodology development or practice-building activities.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Technology Consultant
Align your degree to the SOC code
Technology Consultant maps to SOC code 15-1299 in DOL filings. Your degree field must directly relate to that classification. If your background is in business rather than a technical discipline, gather transcripts and coursework records that demonstrate the technical core before applications begin.
Check employer LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Search Technology Consultant LCA filings by employer on Migrate Mate to see which companies have actively certified positions under this title. That filing history tells you which employers understand the H-1B process for this role before you invest time applying.
Target cap-exempt employers to skip the lottery
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated entities can file H-1B petitions year-round without lottery registration. Technology Consultant roles at these organizations, such as IT strategy or systems advisory positions, let you start without waiting for an April registration window.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Run your job title, location, and experience level through the OFLC Wage Search before you sign. Your offered salary must meet the Level I through Level IV threshold DOL certifies on the LCA, and a shortfall means the employer must refile or renegotiate before USCIS will approve.
Document consulting deliverables to prove specialty occupation
USCIS scrutinizes Technology Consultant petitions because the title can describe both specialized and generalist work. Collect project scopes, architecture documents, and client-facing deliverables that demonstrate your role requires theoretical and practical application of a specific technical discipline.
Negotiate filing costs and timeline before your start date
Employers can legally pass some H-1B fees to you, but attorney fees and the I-129 filing fee must be covered by the employer. Clarify who pays premium processing if your start date is firm, since standard USCIS adjudication can run several months past filing.
H-1B Visa Technology Consultant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technology Consultant role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines the position. USCIS requires that the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related specific field. A Technology Consultant role tied to systems architecture, enterprise software, or cybersecurity strategy typically qualifies. A broadly defined role that accepts any business degree often does not. The job description and your academic credentials both factor into the adjudication.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Technology Consultant positions?
Large consulting firms, enterprise software companies, and financial institutions with in-house technology advisory functions are the most consistent sponsors for this title. You can identify active sponsors by reviewing DOL Labor Condition Application disclosure data, which shows which employers have filed certified LCAs under the Technology Consultant job title. Migrate Mate surfaces this data by employer so you can filter for companies with a documented H-1B filing history before applying.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Technology Consultant role without losing my place in line?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you change employers and start working for the new company as soon as the transfer petition is filed, provided your original petition was approved and you've been in valid H-1B status. The new employer files a new I-129, and USCIS adjudicates it without restarting the clock on any priority date you hold for an immigrant petition.
How does USCIS evaluate Technology Consultant petitions compared to other IT roles?
Technology Consultant petitions receive closer scrutiny than titles like Software Engineer or Data Scientist because the title is broad and historically associated with generalist work. USCIS looks for a demonstrated connection between a specific technical degree field and the actual duties. Employers strengthen petitions by using precise SOC codes, attaching detailed position descriptions, and providing organizational charts that show where specialized technical expertise is required.
What happens to my H-1B status if my consulting project ends before my petition expires?
If your employer terminates your position, you enter a 60-day grace period during which you can transfer to a new H-1B employer, change to another visa status, or depart the country. You don't need to wait for approval of the new petition to begin working for the new employer if you file a transfer while still in status. Project-based consulting roles make this scenario more common, so maintaining current I-94 records and petition documents is practical preparation.
