Job description

Steel Dynamics Internship

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.

This Role is a SDI BioCarbon Solutions Position. What is SDI BioCarbon Solutions?

SDI Biocarbon Solutions is a joint venture between Steel Dynamics and Aymium, focused on producing renewable biocarbon as a direct replacement for fossil fuel-based carbon in steelmaking. Our new greenfield facility in Columbus, Mississippi, utilizes proven, patented technology to convert sustainably sourced biomass into high-quality biocarbon and biogas products. The facility has successfully begun shipping product and plays a critical role in Steel Dynamics' decarbonization strategy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing our commitment to sustainable steelmaking.

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.
