Question

Is this a sign that I will struggle with math more than other people?

Answer 1

Math is more than calculations. I struggle with two digit arithmetic but I still get As in uni math

Answer 2

‘Real’ math doesn’t have much to do with mental calculation at all. To me at least, math is less about arithmetic and more about being able to wrap your head around abstract concepts that are quite often, pretty disconnected from numbers themselves.

Answer 3

Humans are actually very poor multitaskers and the ability to carry out cognitively complex tasks like arithmetic will fall very fast if you are trying to do multiple things at the same time or are in a high stress situation.

You don't have to be an Einstein to do your job effectively and this is hardly proof that you are poor at maths (which covers so much more than arithmetic). I'd suggest that you shouldn't lose sleep over this, keep a small calculator handy at work, I'm sure your employers won't care as long as you do the work right.
