Career Jobs for Network Consultants, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find fulltime, solutions-driven Microsoft certified consultants with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco CCIE certification; security consultants who have CISA or comparable security credentials; and high-end system architecture consultants with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, business continuity, data preservation, and VMware. Progent also is hiring professionals to join Progent's staff of help desk service technicians and off-site support experts. In addition, Progent is seeking experienced managers able to operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, providing attentive client care, and offering a strong value-focused pricing structure, We have managed to increase our customer base rapidly while providing professional support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and across the United States.

If you are an information technology professional with technical support expertise, teaming with Progent or working for our customers can enhance your skills via cooperation with Progent's staff of mutually team-oriented, expert engineers. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and computer help to small and midsize organizations will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with key players and contribute appreciably to the success of dynamic businesses.

Progent is looking for technical professionals that have verifiable credentials related to their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For security, you should show you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or other leading security certifications. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". Notwithstanding, the fact that a certificate does not guarantee excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these tests should be no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. Progent can market your skills, but you should provide a baseline of credentials for Progent to work with. If you are strongly against the idea of certifications, we can understand and honor your opinion, but you are probably not a good fit.

Improve Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining the Top Team of Network Engineers
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a better consultant by improving your information technology knowledge and increasing the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the top consulting experts for you to work with, offering an advanced system infrastructure, running proprietary application tools to deliver the highest level of service, and by optimizing proven business structures for finding and keeping customers.

The main factor that differentiates us from typical consulting firms is the high caliber of our consulting team. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with us, we have recruited the best talent across a broad array of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other crucial technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by leveraging the collective experience of our group of professionals.

To ensure the success of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful tools to do the job properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows seamless connectivity, cooperation, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or on-the-road offices. Consultants don't waste time or lose revenue with regular commutes to a physical office building, and all driving you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your own time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of our support work can be performed off-site, representing maximum productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent team members do remote support only.

Our operations are geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client needs through knowledge sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate group projects and enable problem escalation, and client approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of connection through periodic workgroup conferences and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of our team is situated throughout California, but we are attracting a quickly expanding team of network professionals throughout America. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company structures. We enhance the package by providing a full benefit plan to promote the physical health and financial security of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have awesome consultants, Progent's sales and operations teams match the excellence that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to our success are helping us to identify and sign up the scores of new customers we are currently engaging every month. We lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong sales operation.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a continual series of technical challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Clients rely on consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, advanced implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult upgrades are the foundation for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every day excited about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by establishing close client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you don't have strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse assortment of people, then we are probably not a good fit.

If all this seems good to you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
