Internship System Dynamics Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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?

What sets this Data Analytics Internship apart is the opportunity to directly support business intelligence development for one of the company’s largest recycling divisions. The intern will help design and automate interactive dashboards and data tools that provide real-time insights into divisional performance, sales, and marketing metrics.   Rather than working with simulated or academic data, interns will work with live reports from our new ERP system being implemented in February 2026, giving them hands-on exposure to large-scale data migration and analytics integration.  This role offers an exceptional opportunity to work cross-functionally with leadership in operations, marketing, and IT, building end-to-end reporting solutions that drive business decisions.

Internship Location

This internship will be based at the Steel Dynamics OmniSource Texas Division. The selected intern will work on-site at our Dayton, TX location. The internship will take place during Summer 2026 (approximately May–August).
