01. Pre-pricing — 3F Industri + Bygge- og anlæg
Construction + pressure-part welder workforce under 3F Industri overenskomst + Bygge- og anlæg overenskomst. Denmark-bank-traceable remuneration mandatory.
02. A1 + Danish-language contract + PED documentation
A1 + Danish-language contract predate site arrival. PED Cat III/IV scope requires notified-body operator-qualification records.
03. Miljøstyrelsen + Aalborg Portland CCS onboarding
Miljøstyrelsen permit reconciliation per facility. Aalborg Portland ACCSION grant-agreement onboarding for CCS-zone workers; Vestforbrænding + CIP + Technip Energies CC FEED induction.
04. Arbejdstilsynet + Miljøstyrelsen-defensible evidence pack
Minimum pack: Denmark-bank-traceable remuneration, Danish-language contract, A1 receipt, 3F overenskomst tariff reconciliation, WPQR scope-match per pressure-part worker.
05. India and Gulf sourcing corridors — the Denmark WtE pathway
Indian + Gulf pressure-part welder pools through BHEL + Larsen & Toubro Hazira. The 8 to 14-week corridor delivers EN ISO 9606-1-eligible candidates against Amager Bakke, Avedøre, Vestforbrænding CCS retrofit, or Aalborg Portland ACCSION.
