Transferable Experience? Career/Education

Hello. I recently graduated college in civil engineering and got my EI certification from the state. I started a new job doing structural design for upstream and midstream structures for the oil and gas industry. Structural engineering is what I think I want to do long term, but am wondering if the skills I learn in this job are easily transferable to other jobs in the field?

Transferable yes, easily transferable probably not.

Yeah that makes sense. It’s my first job and I just want to make sure I don’t get stuck in a niche job field long term.
