Beatrice Petrescu - first year trainee on secondment at EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited A day in the life of a trainee on secondment
6:30am: I get ready for the day, making sure to not forget both my Burges Salmon and my EDF laptops - I really need to invest in a bigger work bag! 7:20am: I put my morning coffee in a keepcup and start walking towards Bristol Temple Meads to catch my 7:42 train to Gloucester. I board the train with minutes to spare, smiling at the other commuters. On the train, I turn on my favourite podcast and enjoy my coffee. 8:30am: I arrive in Gloucester and make my way to the taxi waiting outside the train station. I check my work phone and put my EDF pass around my neck, getting ready for the work day. 8:45 am: I get dropped off at EDF's offices in Barnwood, reciprocate the warm greeting from the reception and security staff, and walk to my desk in the legal team's designated area. The office is open-plan so I pass a lot of different teams already
working on exciting nuclear energy work. 9:00am: Today is Tuesday, a day most of the legal team is in the office. I chat to my supervisor and grab a cookie from the generously- stocked snack drawer. I then check my emails and take a look at my to-do list for the day. I get started with the first task of the day: tidying up board minutes from a meeting I attended the previous week. 11am: I finalise the board minutes and send them to my supervisor, and then it is time for the weekly meeting with the legal team. We all make our way to the meeting room and go around the room discussing current ongoing work and wider business updates. 11:30am: Back at my desk, I action a few other tasks on my list, respond to emails and arrange calls to discuss projects I am working on. An exciting matter I have been involved with, drafting a data-sharing contract
