Details Concerning Jobs at Progent

Staff Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Support Professionals
Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco credentials; security consultants with CISSP or equivalent security credentials; and advanced network design consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, high uptime, disaster recovery, information protection, and VMware.

In addition, We are looking for talented managers who can perform effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these certifications should pose no challenge. The point is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients expect credentials. We can market your skills, but you must have basic certifications for Progent to work with. In case you happen to be adamantly against the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

To promote the success of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the best technology to perform the work efficiently. Progent will exploit technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information exchange with fellow Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or lose income with regular drives to a physical office building, and any driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your schedule, not ours. The best benefit is that most of our consulting work can be done off-site, offering maximum productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

Our operations are set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to customer requirements via information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is unified, client problems and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient retrieval, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate group projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is always monitored. We strengthen the sense of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

The majority of Progent's team is located across California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly growing group of network experts from across the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional obstacles that limit the efficiency of conventional company models. We complete the package by providing a full employee care program to promote the physical health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, our marketing and administration groups live up to the excellence that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to our growth are enabling us to target and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are now acquiring every month. We recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great folks, both by building strong customer contacts and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization through and through. If you do not offer excellent communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are probably not a good fit.

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