Moving from Construction Management to Finance

I have spent the last year and a half with a large construction management firm in NYC. This position has allowed me to learn a lot about how buildings are built i.e cost analysis, schedule etc. This has been great experience that I would like to apply to a real estate finance position. I would preferably like to work for a large bank. Is this move possible? What would be the best way to make this move?

 

My degree is in mechanical engineering. I interned each summer of college with various hedge funds and was very involved with the on campus finance clubs.
