I signed for a non-combat job to get some skills in the civilian sector and then changing over to Infantry half way through my contract, can this be done ?

When it's time to reenlist, yes. Or, you can just pass Ranger School and it's a simple request to switch.
What non combat civilian sector skills do you think you will qualify for with no experience after you switch?

Best bet is at re-enlistment time.

It is possible. The key will be having enough time left on your contract. You will either need to extend your current contract or wait until you re-enlist to make it happen. Submitting a package without extending will be a nonstarter. You will need to have a conversation with your career planner or whatever your equivalent to a career planner is. They will be the ones to outline your path and help work the ropes.
