This isn't an internship where you'll spend your days making copies or grabbing coffee.

You'll work directly with our Maintenance Manager, Engineering team, and other leaders throughout the facility to solve problems, improve equipment, and help keep our manufacturing operations running smoothly.

You'll have opportunities to explore different areas of engineering, including:

• Mechanical Engineering – Learn how our equipment works and help improve its performance.
• Electrical & Controls Engineering – Get exposure to the systems that power and control our operations.
• Process Engineering – Find smarter, more efficient ways to manufacture steel.
• Reliability Engineering – Help prevent equipment failures and reduce downtime.

You'll be part of real projects, working with real equipment, in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Some Projects You Might Get Your Hands On

• Machine Guarding Assessments – Help make our equipment and work environment safer.
• Capital Projects (CARs) – Assist with planning, designing, and budgeting equipment improvements.
• Machine Moves & Layout Improvements – Help coordinate equipment moves and improve production flow.
• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis – Investigate equipment breakdowns and help develop solutions to prevent them from happening again.
• Continuous Improvement – Identify opportunities to improve quality, productivity, and equipment reliability.

What We're Looking For

You don't need to know everything. That's what an internship is for! We're looking for someone who's curious, motivated, and excited to learn.

Our ideal candidate:

• Has completed at least two years of college toward an Engineering or related degree at an accredited college or university.
• Is studying Mechanical, Electrical, Process, or a related engineering discipline.
• Enjoys solving problems and figuring out how things work.
• Has some familiarity with Microsoft Office applications, 3D modeling, or GD&T.
• Can work independently but also enjoys being part of a team.
• Is comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
• Isn't afraid to ask questions, share ideas, or jump into a new challenge.

Military experience? We encourage you to apply! Technical training, mechanical aptitude, and problem-solving experience can translate well into this role.
