We are hiring consultants who can show verifiable credentials in their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE certificate.

You don’t waste time or forfeit revenue with regular commutes to a physical office, and any driving you do for in-person customer work is determined by your time table, not ours. The best part is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.

Our operations are geared towards reacting quickly and efficiently to customer needs via information exchange and cooperative problem solving.

Innovative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for network engineers in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will work with some great people, both by establishing close client contacts and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you do not have excellent people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.
