Building a Career in Steel: How a Michigan Tech Alum Found Her Path at Nucor

Published September 3, 2025

By Ryan Thompson

In this episode of Husky Careers: Unleashed, host Ryan Thompson chats with Michigan Tech alumna Jenna Davids, who graduated in 2019 with a civil engineering degree and now works as an engineering supervisor at Nucor’s Insulated Panel Group. Jenna shares her journey from civil engineering student to leader in the steel industry, highlighting the importance of internships, mentorship, and company culture along the way.

Discovering Opportunities Through Internships

Jenna completed three internships while at Tech, each shaping her career path in different ways. A freshman internship in manufacturing gave her valuable experience, while her second role in road construction confirmed her interest in hands-on work. Her third internship with Nucor happened almost by accident. She approached their booth at Career Fair just to practice, and that conversation, along with her request for feedback, led to an internship offer.
