He has successively served as the vice mayor of Tianjin, and the Director of the State Administration of Work Safety. In August 2015, he was put under investigation by the Communist Party's anti-corruption agency. Yang was a member of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party; he was the sixth member of the committee to be investigated for wrongdoing following the 18th Party Congress.

From 1972 onwards, he assumed various posts in North China Petroleum Battle Command (华北石油会战指挥部; now PetroChina Huabei Oilfield Company), a state-controlled oil company which was renamed North China Petroleum Administration (华北石油管理局) in 1983. He served as its Deputy Communist Party Secretary from June 1983 to September 1987.
From September 1985 to September 1987 he studied at Beijing Petroleum Management Cadre Institute, majoring in engineering administration. From September 1995 to January 1998 he studied at Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party, majoring in political economics. He obtained a doctorate in laws from China University of Political Science and Law in January 2007.

On August 12, 2015, shortly after the a series of deadly explosions in Tianjin, Yang Dongliang accompanied State Councilor and Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun to Tianjin, where he had worked before his transfer, as part of an emergency response team. Yang spent the next few days in Tianjin working around the clock to manage the response. On August 18, however, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) announced that he was under investigation for serious violation of laws and discipline; it was not clear if the investigation was linked to the events in Tianjin. Yang was the sixth full member of the 18th Central Committee to be investigated for wrongdoing.
