I would like to have an opportunity being part of the team vs I would like to have an opportunity to be part of the team

The phrases are similar, but the second one is the correct and commonly used English construction. The preposition 'to' is needed before the verb 'be' to form the infinitive 'to be'. This preposition is missing from the first phrase, which is grammatically incorrect.
