Additional Facts About Opportunities with Us

Career Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco certified network engineers who have Cisco CCIE or CCNP certification; security consultants with CISA or comparable security credentials; and high-end network design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, business continuity, information preservation, and VMware. Progent also is hiring professionals to join our staff of desktop support specialists and off-site troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is hiring talented managers able to operate effectively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class client care, and following a competitive value-focused pricing structure, We have managed to increase our customer base dramatically while providing consulting services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a common knowledge database, and a team approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a loyal customer list.

If you are an information technology consultant with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients will expand your skills through cooperation with Progent's group of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Progent's focus on delivering network consulting and computer help to small and midsize companies will give you the chance to work closely with key players and add appreciably to the growth of exciting companies.

We are hiring technical professionals that can show recognized credentials related to their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For network security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security credentials. Of course, we are familiar with "paper experts". However, the fact that a certificate can not guarantee expertise is no excuse for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these certifications should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. Progent can broadcast your skills, but you should provide a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you stand adamantly opposed to the idea of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

You don’t throw away time or forfeit revenue because of regular commutes to a physical office, and all driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your schedule, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's support work can be done off-site, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting exclusively.

Our operations are set up for responding quickly and effectively to customer requirements via information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is unified, client problems and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for easy reference, current engineer availability is broadcast to facilitate team tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via monthly team meetings and quarterly corporate events.

Most of our team is located throughout California, however Progent is building a quickly growing group of consulting experts from across America.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of technical challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Customers rely on consultants to perform the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every day excited about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will work with some great people, both by building close customer relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you do not offer strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor fit.

If this sounds good to you, we invite you to contact Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
