— the candidate must have an office in Belgium with sufficient staff (as a minimum, the key-functions must be present in this office — project supervisor, experts), this criteria will be demonstrated with the necessary resumes of the employees who are here. The resumes of the employees will indicate their qualifications,
— the candidate must demonstrate with reference list (last 3 years) that he can supervise different studies in the same period (line infrastructures — 2 to 3 projects),
— the candidate must have sufficient technical knowledge in his company (engineers - different disciplines, technical bachelor's — different disciplines). This will be demonstrated with a list of staff complemented by their level of education,

This will be demonstrated by forwarding the necessary resumes of some employees with an indication of the knowledge of these 2 languages.
The candidate must be familiar with the regional and federal legislation/procedures applicable in Belgium. Therefore he must provide a list with references of projects (construction of line infrastructures — last 3 years) for which he has applied for the necessary permits in Belgium (Flemish, Walloon and Brussels region) (environmental permit, permit d'urbanisme,...). This list can be supplemented by requesting various authorizations.
