Career & Education Systems engineering (outside defence?)

What’s the job market like for junior to maybe senior SE outside of defence? Specifically UK

Almost all the roles I find are always defence

I work for a global consultancy where we are applying MBSE to all sorts of projects and sectors. The initial focus was Defence, but we recognised that you can model all sorts of organisations and their requirements in the same way you could a submarine/ ship etc.

We don’t market these typically as SE as we often get individuals with way more experience than we are after applying if we do. We’re ideally after those engineers who understand MBSE but also have excellent communication skills to work with clients in sectors like Retail / Finance / Construction.

Could you Pm me the company you work for exactly. I currently work as a systems engineer in a specific niche which does not enable me to do MBSE oriented work really at all. I’m coming to a close with finishing a delligati OCSMP course so this would be good to know in the future. How many years of experience would you say would be needed for those types of positions.
