Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified network consultants who have Cisco credentials; security professionals with CISA or equivalent security certification; and high-end network design consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, information preservation, and server virtualization.

For an information technology professional with technical support expertise, joining Progent or helping our clients can expand your knowledge via interaction with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, talented consultants. Progent's focus on providing network consulting and technical help to small organizations will give you the opportunity to collaborate intimately with key players and add significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is hiring consultants who can show verifiable certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco professionals, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Naturally, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, simply because a credential can not ensure expertise is no excuse for not earning one. If you have mastered your field, then the majority of these tests should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers deserve to see certifications. Progent will promote your talents, but you need to provide a baseline of certifications for us to market. In case you stand strongly opposed to the concept of credentials, we can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good fit.

We will leverage information technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or lose revenue with daily drives to a physical office building, and all driving you do for in-person customer jobs is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that most of Progent's consulting work can be performed remotely, offering maximum productivity for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site support only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to customer needs through knowledge exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is unified, client issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate group projects and enable problem escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of connection via monthly team conferences and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located throughout California, however we are building a quickly expanding group of network professionals from across the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with regional obstacles that restrict the productivity of conventional company models.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of technical challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building strong client relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you don’t have excellent communications skills or enjoy working with a varied assortment of people, then Progent is probably not a good match.

If this sounds good to you, we invite you to talk to Progent about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
