Details About Jobs with Us

Career Work for Network Consultants, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Experts, and Remote Help Professionals
Progent wants to find full-time, results-oriented Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security certification; and advanced network architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, workplace recovery, information preservation, and virtual servers. Progent also seeks professionals who can work on Progent's team of desktop support specialists and remote support professionals. Also, Progent is seeking experienced managers who can perform effectively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class customer services, and offering a competitive results-focused fee model, Progent has been able to expand our client base rapidly while delivering professional services to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a shared information base, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied customer base.

For an information technology professional with troubleshooting expertise, joining Progent or working for our clients will enhance your knowledge via interaction with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert consultants. Progent's focus on providing network expertise and computer help to small companies will offer you the opportunity to collaborate closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for technical professionals that have recognized certification in their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE credential. For Cisco experts, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For network security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security certifications. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". Still, the fact that a certificate can not guarantee expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of those tests should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients deserve to see credentials. We can promote your talents, but you need to have basic credentials for us to work with. In case you happen to be adamantly against the concept of certifications, we can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Improve Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Working with a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's work environment will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by improving your information technology skills and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the top consulting talent for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system architecture, running custom application utilities to deliver the highest level of service, and by streamlining proven business models for attracting and retaining customers.

The decisive factor that differentiates us from most network support firms is the high caliber of our support professionals. Out of the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited top expertise covering a broad range of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, server virtualization, or other vital technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be successful on major projects by leveraging the aggregate skills of our team of experts.

To promote the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful tools to do the work efficiently. Progent will exploit technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with fellow Progent consultants — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose revenue because of regular commutes to a physical office building, and any driving you do for on-site customer jobs is based on your time table, not ours. The best part is that much of our support services can be done remotely, representing maximum productivity for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site support only.

Our operations are set up for responding quickly and efficiently to customer requirements via knowledge sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Even though our engineers work with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, current consultant schedules are published to streamline group tasks and enable problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is always monitored. We strengthen the sense of connection through periodic team meetings and regular corporate events.

The majority of our team is situated throughout California, however we are building a rapidly growing team of network professionals from across the United States. Our virtual office environment eliminates regional boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional company models. We complete the package by providing a comprehensive employee care program to promote the health and financial welfare of our employees and their families.

Not only do we have world-class consultants, our marketing and operations groups live up to the excellence that characterizes Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent's growth are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring every month. We recently celebrated the providing of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with Progent. 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 steady stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Clients rely on a consultant to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and tricky upgrades are the basis for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too typical for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will meet some great folks, both by establishing close customer relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you do not offer excellent people skills or enjoy working with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good match.

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