Details Concerning Work with Us

Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Professionals
Progent wants to hire fulltime, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco certified system engineers who have Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISM or equivalent security certification; and high-end network design consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, service continuity, business continuity, data protection, and VMware. Progent also is looking for employees to work on our team of help desk service technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, We are hiring talented administrators who can perform productively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and motivated consultants, providing attentive customer care, and following a strong value-focused fee model, Progent has managed to increase our customer list dramatically while delivering professional services to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a shared knowledge base, and a team approach to problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a talented staff and a satisfied client base.

For a network consultant with technical support experience, joining Progent or working for our customers will enhance your skills through interaction with our group of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Our focus on providing network expertise and computer support to small and midsize organizations will give you the opportunity to work closely with key players and add significantly to the growth of dynamic businesses.

We are looking for consultants that can show verifiable certification in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security credentials. Naturally, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Still, simply because a certificate can not ensure excellence is no reason for not earning one. If you know your field, then the majority of these tests should be no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are an expert, then clients expect certifications. Progent can market your skills, but you must have basic credentials for Progent to market. If you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Progent will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with other Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or forfeit revenue with regular drives to a conventional office, and any travel you do for in-person customer work is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that most of Progent's consulting work can be done remotely, representing maximum efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support only.

Progent's operations are set up for responding rapidly and effectively to client needs through information sharing and collaborative problem resolution.

We reinforce the sense of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

We recently marked the providing of services to our 1,000th client.

A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative tasks, leading-edge deployments, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by building strong customer contacts and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused company through and through.
