Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent wants to hire staff-level, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with MCSE or MCP certification; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISM or equivalent security credentials; and advanced network design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, disaster recovery, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also seeks employees who can join our team of help desk service technicians and remote troubleshooting experts. In addition, We are hiring experienced administrators able to perform effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a staff of skilled and motivated consultants, delivering attentive customer services, and following a competitive results-based fee structure, We have been able to increase our client list dramatically while providing professional support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States.

Progent is looking for consultants that can show recognized certification in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For network security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security credentials. Of course, we are aware of "paper experts". Nevertheless, simply because a certificate does not ensure expertise is no excuse for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then most of those tests should pose no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you call yourself an expert, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent can market your talents, but you should provide a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you are strongly opposed to the idea of certifications, we can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

Improve Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Network Consultants
Progent's work environment will make you a more capable consulting professional by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the satisfaction of your clients. Progent makes good on this commitment by attracting the best professional experts for you to operate with, offering an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running proprietary application utilities to deliver the maximum level of service, and by streamlining our business models for finding and keeping customers.

The decisive factor that distinguishes Progent from most consulting firms is the high caliber of our service staff. Among the 50 or so consultants who have joined us, we have assembled the best expertise across a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, VMware, or other vital application, we deploy professionals who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by combining the aggregate experience of our group of professionals.

To promote the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in providing the best tools to perform the job efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an impressive extent and our advanced virtual office infrastructure enables effortless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with fellow Progent team members — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or lose income with daily commutes to a physical office, and any travel you do for on-site customer work is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that most of our support work can be performed off-site, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting rapidly and efficiently to client needs via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers operate with a great deal of independence, dispatching is unified, customer issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for easy retrieval, current consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate group projects and simplify problem escalation, and client approval is always evaluated. We strengthen the sense of cooperation via monthly workgroup conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of our team is situated across California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding team of network experts throughout the United States. Our virtual office environment eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional business models. We complete the deal by offering a full employee care plan to promote the health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have world-class consultants, our sales and operations groups match the excellence that is Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent's growth are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are now acquiring every month. We recently marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing organization.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for growth with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Clients choose consultants to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some great people, both by establishing strong client contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-focused company from top to bottom. If you do not have strong communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

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