Career Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, results-oriented Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA credentials; security consultants who have CISA or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture experts with experience in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, workplace recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks employees to work on Progent's staff of help desk service technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is seeking experienced managers who can operate effectively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a staff of talented and motivated consultants, providing world-class client care, and offering a strong value-focused pricing structure, We have been able to increase our client base dramatically while delivering consulting services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared knowledge base, and a team strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal client base.

We are looking for consultants that have verifiable credentials in their technical expertise.

For network security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, we are aware of "paper experts". Still, simply because a credential can not guarantee excellence is no reason for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you call yourself an expert, then clients expect certifications. We can broadcast your talents, but you need to provide standard credentials for Progent to work with. In case you stand adamantly against the idea of credentials, we can sympathize with and honor your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to perform the job properly. Progent will leverage information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't waste time or lose revenue because of regular commutes to a physical office, and all travel you do for on-site client jobs is based on your time table, not ours. The best benefit is that much of Progent's support services can be performed off-site, representing maximum productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some Progent team members do remote consulting only.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting quickly and effectively to customer needs through information exchange and cooperative problem solving. Although Progent's engineers operate with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, current engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate team tasks and enable problem escalation, and client satisfaction is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via monthly workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located across California, but we are building a quickly growing group of consulting professionals throughout the United States. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional business models. We complete the package by providing a full employee care plan to ensure the health and economic security of our employees and their relations.

Possessing a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a continual series of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Customers rely on consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for our services daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by establishing close client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented company through and through. If you do not have strong people skills or like cooperating with a diverse group of personalities, then we are in all likelihood a poor match.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact us about our vision of the future of network consulting.
