Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities with Us

Fulltime Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Support Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire fulltime, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited network engineers who have CCIE certification; security professionals who have CISSP or equivalent security credentials; and advanced network architecture experts with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high uptime, disaster recovery, information preservation, and VMware.

Our focus on providing network expertise and technical help to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to work intimately with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.

Progent is looking for technical professionals who have recognized certification related to their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other top security certifications. Naturally, we are aware of "paper experts". Notwithstanding, the fact that a credential can not guarantee expertise is no justification for not having one. If you know your field, then the majority of these certifications should pose no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers expect credentials. Progent will market your skills, but you need to provide a baseline of credentials for us to work with. In case you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are probably not a good fit.

In fact, some of our staff do remote consulting exclusively.

Our operations are set up for responding quickly and efficiently to customer needs through knowledge sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our consultants operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, client problems and resolutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for convenient retrieval, current consultant schedules are published to streamline team projects and enable trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is continually evaluated.

Being exposed to a continual series of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Clients rely on consultants to perform the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will work with some great folks, both by building strong customer contacts and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but we are a relationship-focused company heart and soul. If you do not offer strong people skills or like working with a varied assortment of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.
