environmental permitting by gathering data, drafting submittals, coordinating with consultants, and communicating with regulatory agencies.\nCollect, validate, and analyze environmental data for emissions, water quality, and waste streams, and build tracking tools and reports to demonstrate compliance with permit limits.\nConduct field inspections of emission points, stormwater controls, waste accumulation areas, and radiation detection portals, document findings, and follow up on corrective actions.\nPerform sampling and monitoring to verify compliance with permit conditions, maintain chain of custody, and organize sampling records.\nPrepare or assist with required regulatory reports including emission inventories, Title V reports, SARA and Tier II submissions, deviation logs, discharge monitoring reports, and routine quarterly and annual filings.\nParticipate in root cause analyses for exceedances or abnormal trends and help develop corrective and preventive actions with operations and maintenance teams.\nSupport operation and performance tracking of pollution control equipment such as baghouses, scrubbers, and oxidizers, and recommend improvements where appropriate.\nContribute to sustainability and decarbonization initiatives focused on emissions reduction, waste minimization, water stewardship, and recycling.\nAssist with contractor and vendor coordination, waste profiling and manifests, and value driven procurement to meet program goals.\nHelp prepare for audits and inspections by organizing documentation, participating in walk throughs, and supporting responses to findings or Notices of Violation.\nDevelop and deliver basic training or job aids for environmental requirements, and partner with the SDI Corporate Office on projects as

evaluating results against EPA and IDEM limits.\nSupport the air permitting process by compiling required documentation, collaborating with third-party consultants, and maintaining communication with regulatory agencies to ensure permit accuracy and timely submissions.\nConduct field assessments of emission points and process areas to verify control equipment performance, identify potential non-compliance issues, and recommend corrective actions.\nTroubleshoot instances of elevated emissions using root cause analysis and process flow reviews, working with operations teams to implement technical solutions that improve environmental performance.\nAssist with environmental reporting by compiling and interpreting data for quarterly or annual reports, including Title V reports, emission inventories, and deviation logs.\nGain direct exposure to chemical processing systems such as baghouses, scrubbers, and oxidizers, learning how these systems influence emissions and process efficiency.\nSupport waste and water compliance efforts by reviewing sampling results, identifying permit exceedances, and participating in internal audits of hazardous material handling and stormwater systems.\nWork alongside Environmental Engineers to prepare for agency inspections, respond to Notice of Violations (NOVs), and implement corrective action plans.\nDevelop a strong foundation in environmental management systems (EMS), learning how data collection, documentation, and operational discipline contribute to long-term regulatory compliance and sustainable operations.\n Steel Dynamics, Inc., and all affiliated entities are equal opportunity
