More Information About Opportunities with Us

Staff Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire full-time, results-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco accredited network engineers with Cisco credentials; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security credentials; and advanced system design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, high uptime, workplace recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring professionals who can work on our team of desktop support technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is seeking experienced managers able to operate effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a staff of skilled and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class customer services, and offering a strong results-focused fee model, Progent has managed to increase our client list rapidly while delivering professional services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the United States. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a common knowledge base, and a team strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a loyal customer base.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers can expand your skills via cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually supportive, expert engineers. Our focus on providing network expertise and computer help to small and midsize companies will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with decision makers and contribute significantly to the growth of dynamic companies.

We are hiring technical professionals who can show recognized credentials related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate. For Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, Progent is aware of "paper experts". Notwithstanding, the fact that a certificate does not ensure excellence is no justification for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then the majority of those certifications should present no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are an expert, then customers deserve to see certifications. Progent can broadcast your skills, but you must provide a baseline of certifications for Progent to market. If you happen to be strongly opposed to the concept of credentials, we can sympathize with and honor your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

You don’t waste time or lose income because of regular commutes to a physical office, and any travel you do for in-person client work is based on your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that most of our consulting services can be done remotely, offering 100% productivity for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting exclusively.

Our business structure is geared towards responding rapidly and efficiently to customer requirements through information exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our consultants work with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are carefully tracked, documented, and organized for convenient retrieval, up-to-date engineer schedules are published to streamline group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation through monthly team conferences and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's team is situated across California, however we are building a rapidly expanding group of network professionals from across America. Our virtual office environment eliminates regional boundaries that limit the productivity of conventional business models.

A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients choose consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for our services every day. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning excited about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some wonderful folks, both by building close client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization from top to bottom.
