Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA certification; security professionals with CISSP or comparable security certification; and high-end network design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless networking, high availability, workplace recovery, information protection, and VMware. Progent also seeks employees who can join Progent's team of desktop service specialists and off-site support professionals. In addition, We are looking for talented managers who can perform effectively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and dedicated professionals, delivering world-class customer services, and following a strong value-based pricing model, Progent has been able to expand our client list rapidly while delivering consulting support to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a common knowledge database, and a team strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a skilled staff and a satisfied customer list.

If you are an information technology professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers will expand your skills through cooperation with Progent's group of highly supportive, expert engineers. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and technical help to small organizations will give you the chance to work intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

We are looking for technical professionals who can show recognized certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For network security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Naturally, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” However, simply because a certificate does not guarantee excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you know your stuff, then most of these certifications should be no great difficulty. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers deserve to see certifications. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you need to have standard credentials for us to work with. In case you stand adamantly opposed to the idea of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Group of Network Engineers
Progent's work environment will make you a more capable consultant by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the loyalty of your clients. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the best consulting talent for you to operate with, providing an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running proprietary application tools to enable the maximum quality of service, and by optimizing our business structures for finding and retaining clients.

The most important factor that separates us from other consulting companies is the high quality of our consulting team. Out of the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited top expertise covering a wide range of technical areas. Whether it’s Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Apple, Linux, virtual servers, or other vital technologies, we deploy professionals who can help you to be successful on major jobs by combining the collective skills of our group of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful tools to perform the work efficiently. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or lose revenue because of regular drives to a physical office building, and any travel you do for on-site client work is based on your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that much of our support services can be done remotely, offering 100% productivity for billable time. In fact, some Progent team members do off-site consulting only.

Our business structure is set up for responding rapidly and effectively to client requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Even though Progent's engineers work with a high level of freedom, dispatching is centralized, customer problems and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, current consultant schedules are published to facilitate team tasks and enable problem escalation, and client approval is continually monitored. We reinforce the feeling of connection through periodic team conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are situated throughout California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly growing group of consulting professionals throughout the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional company models. We complete the package by providing a comprehensive employee care program to ensure the physical health and financial welfare of our employees and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups match the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent’s growth are helping us to identify and sign up the scores of new customers we are now engaging each month. We lately marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or entrenched issues, and tricky migrations are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing strong client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-focused organization through and through. If you do not offer strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse assortment of people, then Progent is probably not a good match.

If this sounds good to you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the future of information technology consulting.
