Career Jobs for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco certified system engineers with Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISA or comparable security credentials; and high-end system design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high availability, business continuity, information protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks employees to work on Progent's team of helpdesk service specialists and off-site troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is seeking talented managers able to perform effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and motivated consultants, providing world-class client services, and following a competitive results-focused fee structure, Progent has managed to expand our customer list dramatically while delivering consulting support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office environment, a shared information database, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a talented staff and a satisfied customer base.

For an information technology professional with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or helping our clients can expand your skills through cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert engineers. Our commitment to delivering network consulting and computer help to small and midsize companies will give you the chance to collaborate closely with decision makers and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals that can show verifiable certification related to their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco experts, show us your CCIE or CCNP credential. For network security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, simply because a credential can not ensure expertise is no excuse for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then the majority of these tests should pose no great difficulty. The point is that if you are an expert, then clients expect certifications. Progent can broadcast your talents, but you must provide basic credentials for Progent to work with. In case you are adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Working with a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's business climate will make you a better professional by enhancing your information technology knowledge and increasing the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the best consulting experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, using custom software utilities to enable the maximum quality of service, and by optimizing our business structures for finding and retaining customers.

The most important factor that separates us from typical consulting firms is the excellence of our support professionals. Out of the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have recruited top expertise covering a wide range of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Macintosh, Linux, virtual servers, or other key areas, we deploy experts who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's group of professionals.

To ensure the success of our team, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to do the job efficiently. Progent will leverage technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless communications, cooperation, and knowledge sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or on-the-road offices. You don't throw away time or forfeit income because of regular drives to a conventional office building, and any driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's support services can be done off-site, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our team members do off-site consulting only.

Our business structure is set up for responding rapidly and effectively to customer requirements through information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though our engineers operate with a high level of independence, dispatching is unified, customer issues and solutions are meticulously tracked, documented, and organized for easy retrieval, current consultant schedules are published to streamline team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via monthly workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of our consultants are located across California, but Progent is attracting a rapidly growing group of network professionals from across the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional company models. We complete the deal by offering a comprehensive benefit program to ensure the physical health and economic security of our employees and their families.

Just as we have awesome consultants, Progent's marketing and operations groups live up to the high standards that is Progent. These high-performance factors behind our success are enabling us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently engaging each month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consultants to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused company through and through. If you do not have strong communications skills or like cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this seems right for you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.

Enjoy Quality of Life Benefits and Technical Prowess with
Our Sophisticated Virtual Office Environment
Progent is convinced that a carefully designed and implemented network can be a pivotal factor for enabling any company's success, and Progent applies this philosophy in our corporate system environment.
