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.\nThis is a New Millennium Position. Who is New Millennium?\nA division of Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI), New Millennium was founded in 1999 in Butler, Indiana, with one clear mission: To be a trusted collaborator for the design, engineering, and supply of structural steel joists and deck. Today, 25 years later, we’re one of the largest providers of high-performance structural steel joists, joist girders, and deck solutions for commercial steel construction projects.\nWhat Makes This Internship Different?\nThe Structural Engineering Internship at Steel Dynamics is unique because interns are not limited to observing or performing routine tasks, they are directly involved in projects that impact production, safety, and long-term infrastructure reliability. Unlike many programs that focus solely on classroom-style assignments, SDI interns gain hands-on experience in both design and field work, from analyzing and drafting structural components to inspecting and reinforcing critical infrastructure in active industrial environments. This combination of office and on-site project involvement provides students with exposure to the full lifecycle of civil engineering work in a manufacturing setting. Many interns also work alongside contractors, operators, and engineers, giving them a broader perspective of how civil engineering integrates with operations and business strategy. The result is an experience that goes beyond traditional internships by preparing students to solve real-world challenges and contribute measurable value from day one.\nInternship Location\nThis internship is located at the New Millennium [Location Name] facility located in [City Name]. This internship will take place in [insert timing].\nInternship Benefits\nFurnished Housing Free of CostProvided for interns living more than 50 miles from their work site, including essential

visits per issue, per year for counseling, legal advice, financial guidance, and other daily living resources.\n\nIntern ExtravaganzaA two-day event at company headquarters featuring facility tours, networking with company leaders, cultural immersion, and connecting with other interns from across the country.\n\nCompetitive PayCompetitive hourly wages for all internship positions, rewarding the value interns bring to the company.\n\nResponsibilities\nWhat Are My Responsibilities as a Structural Engineering Intern at Steel Dynamics?\nApply engineering principles to support ongoing design, analysis, and construction projects ranging from community churches, schools, offices and retail buildings to athletic facilities and fieldhouses to massive warehouses and data centers covering acres of land for the world’s largest distribution and data storage companies.\n\nAssist in evaluating and designing structural components such as platforms, open-web steel joists and girders, and welded and bolted connections.\n\nConduct inspections of existing infrastructure to identify potential issues and recommend solutions.\n\nPerform experiments, collect field data, and analyze results to guide project decisions and operational improvements.\n\nUtilize laboratory and engineering tools, including AutoCAD and BIM software, to create drawings, models, and technical documentation.\n\nCollaborate with engineers, contractors, and operations personnel to clarify requirements, coordinate repairs, and support project execution.\n\nEnsure compliance with applicable building codes, safety standards, and internal quality expectations.\n\nContribute to day-to-day engineering activities in a fast-paced industrial environment to meet facility needs.\n\nQualifications\nWhat Qualifications Do I Need?\nCandidates should have a strong interest in Structural Engineering, and be enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program in Civil Engineering or related field, enabling attainment of EIT license and eventual Civil PE licensure.\nPreferred GPA of at least 2.7\nExamples of Projects Steel Dynamics Structural Engineering Interns Have Completed\nDesign and analyze structures such as buildings, crane runways, mezzanines, platforms, and equipment supports to ensure long-term durability under industrial conditions.\nEvaluate structural loading, vibration, thermal expansion, and wear to ensure all designs can withstand heavy and dynamic forces over time.\nEnsure all designs comply with local building codes, OSHA safety regulations, and industry-specific standards through thorough documentation and review.\nParticipate in structural detailing using AutoCAD, converting structural drawings into fabrication-ready drawings and details.\nGenerate finalized modification details to resolve field conflicts and coordinate with information provided by outside parties to ensure project success.\n Steel Dynamics, Inc., and all affiliated entities are equal opportunity employers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5837,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Civil
