    Highways and Public Works – who we are

    Employees at Highways and Public Works are responsible for ensuring safe and efficient public highways, airstrips, buildings, and information systems. Our collective vision is to make a difference in the lives of Yukoners. At all levels of our organization, we value leadership, innovation, teamwork, and keeping our people safe. Our priorities are to be client focused, to support our people, to build sustainably, and to advance reconciliation throughout the Yukon.

    This opportunity...

    We are a high-performing team that thrives in a fast-paced environment. We work closely together to support our Minister in the Legislative Assembly, develop policy and change or rewrite legislation.

You must be able to balance big picture, strategic thinking while being detail oriented and client focused.

    We are looking for someone who is a strong writer, can work collaboratively, and be a leader in the workplace.

    The policy analyst position reports to the Policy Manager and is responsible for developing and implementing policy options as well as leading and managing policy development projects through the approvals process. The position also has the opportunity to lead or participate in inter-departmental committees in areas of interest to the department, which can provide various networking opportunities. The position is also exposed to the day-to day workings of Yukon government while supporting the Minister and senior management in the department.

    Our policy analysts are strategic individuals with critical thinking skills who can analyze a broad variety of policy projects and make well-thought-out recommendations. The selected candidate will provide recommendations on complex issues, draft decision-making documents and develop policy in a collaborative setting.

    • Experience working with a variety of internal and external stakeholders;
    • Experience planning, leading and/or facilitating large projects would be considered an asset;
    • Knowledge of Yukon government approvals processes would be considered an asset.

    If your resume demonstrates education, training, and/or experience equivalent to the essential qualifications listed above, your application may be equally considered.
