Description

The City of Edmonton is looking for two strategic and operationally-minded Emergency Management Analysts to join our emergency management team. In this critical role, you will bridge the gap between abstract risk assessment and the practical safety of Edmontonians by leading the corporation through complex hazard identifications. You will be instrumental in ensuring the City is prepared for environmental, health, and technological challenges while also supporting the safe delivery of high-profile mass gatherings and festivals. By collaborating with diverse community partners and internal branches, you will ensure our Municipal Emergency Plan is evidence-based and legally compliant.

You will facilitate cross-functional discussions to confirm current and future mitigation measures, keeping our risk profile and mitigations grounded in data. Additionally, you will serve as a Liaison Officer during Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) activations, ensuring seamless communication between internal and external participants.
