Public Finance to Infrastructure PE?

Wondering if moving from public finance to infra PE can be done? I am an associate, graduated from a target in 2014. I'm with a MM firm, but my senior bankers came over from a BB firm and run our office as such. Our team covers large cities and state issuers, but I've most enjoyed working on the transit/toll road/public utility issuers and project financings.

From what I've read about infra PE on WSO, it seems like there may be parallels between the two (e.g. appears to be a lot of focus on docs/covenants, often policy connections, often modeling against relatively fixed/known revenue constraints, etc.). But on the other hand, PF is entirely debt-based and niche. Trying to gauge if it is possible without going back to b-school.
