More Information About Work with Us

Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Technicians
Progent wants to find fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified system engineers who have Cisco credentials; security professionals with CISA or equivalent security credentials; and advanced system design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, disaster recovery, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is looking for employees to join Progent's staff of desktop service technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is seeking experienced administrators who can perform effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a staff of skilled and dedicated professionals, providing attentive customer care, and offering a competitive value-focused pricing model, Progent has managed to expand our client list dramatically while providing professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the United States. An advanced virtual office environment, a common knowledge database, and a group approach to problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled staff and a loyal customer list.

If you are a network professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients will enhance your skills via cooperation with Progent's group of mutually team-oriented, talented engineers. Progent's commitment to providing information technology expertise and computer support to small organizations will give you the opportunity to work intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting businesses.

We are hiring technical professionals who have recognized credentials related to their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security credentials. Of course, we are aware of "paper experts". Nevertheless, the fact that a certificate can not guarantee excellence is no justification for not having one. If you know your field, then most of these certifications should present no great difficulty. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. Progent will promote your talents, but you need to provide standard credentials for us to market. If you are strongly against the idea of certifications, Progent can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Working with a Great Team of Network Engineers
Progent's productive atmosphere will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your information technology knowledge and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the best professional talent for you to work with, offering a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, running specialized application tools to enable the highest level of support, and by streamlining our operational structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The main factor that separates us from other consulting firms is the quality of our support professionals. Out of the scores of consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best expertise across a broad range of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, virtual servers, or other vital application, we deploy experts who can enable you to be effective on larger projects by leveraging the collective experience of our group of professionals.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful tools to perform the job properly. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless communications, cooperation, and knowledge sharing with other Progent consultants — all from at-home or mobile offices. You don't waste time or lose revenue with regular commutes to a physical office building, and any driving you do for in-person client jobs is based on your schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that most of Progent's support work can be performed remotely, representing 100% efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some Progent staff do remote support exclusively.

Progent's operations are geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to client needs through information exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Although our engineers work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, client problems and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate group projects and enable trouble escalation, and client approval is continually monitored. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via periodic team meetings and regular corporate events.

The majority of our consultants are located across California, but Progent is attracting a quickly growing team of consulting professionals throughout America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional business models. We enhance the package by offering a full benefit program to promote the health and financial welfare of our team members and their families.

Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups live up to the high standards that characterizes Progent. These top-notch contributors to our success are helping us to target and sign up the scores of new customers we are currently acquiring each month. We lately marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for network professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every morning excited about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by establishing strong client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused company through and through. If you don't have excellent communications skills or like cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

If all this sounds right for you, we urge you to contact Progent about our vision of the future of network consulting.
