Steel Dynamics

Overview

What Does Steel Dynamics Do?

Steel Dynamics is a leading industrial metals solutions company that produces lower-carbon, high-quality steel products primarily from recycled scrap. Operating through a circular manufacturing model, the company manufactures a wide range of steel products including flat roll, structural, and long products for industries such as construction, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. In addition to steel production, Steel Dynamics operates metals recycling facilities, steel fabrication plants, and aluminum production operations, serving customers across North America with a focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

What Makes This Internship Different?

Accounting internships at Steel Dynamics are different because interns are fully immersed in real projects that make a measurable impact on the business. Students gain the opportunity to see accounting from both an operational and corporate perspective, building a well-rounded understanding of how financial systems drive and support the company's success. Many of our full-time accountants began their careers as interns before advancing into roles such as accounting supervisor and, ultimately, controller. With strong career progression opportunities and exposure to the full scope of SDI's operations, the accounting internship offers a unique and valuable starting point for students pursuing careers in accounting and finance.

Internship Location

This internship is located at the Steel Dynamics Structural & Rail Division located in Columbia City, IN. This internship will take place in Summer 2026.
