Berube received a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from Merrimack College in 1968. He subsequently studied at Drexel University in 1975, continuing his professional development in an urban academic setting associated with engineering and applied science.
Berube began his federal career as a civil engineer with the United States Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C. The Department of Transportation, established in 1966, coordinates federal transportation policy, infrastructure, safety, and related regulatory functions.
In 1987, Berube became Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment in the United States Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. The position placed him within the Department of Energy's environmental, safety, and health organization during a period when federal nuclear and energy facilities faced expanding environmental compliance requirements. In December 1988, Department of Energy correspondence identified him as Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Environment, and directed agency operations offices to provide him with information concerning compliance agreements involving major federal facilities and environmental statutes.
