Adnan Menhal · Founder, Voltra Talent

High-voltage talent
for a clean energy
world.

I'm Adnan – I run a specialist recruitment agency focused entirely on solar, battery storage and clean energy. If you're hiring or looking, let's talk.

I'm Looking to Hire I'm Looking for a Role

Every client gets my full attention. Every time. Most recruiters fire off CVs and hope something sticks. That's not how I work. I take time to understand what you actually need – and I care enough to be straight with you when it's not the right fit.

Who We Help

We work with both sides
of the market

Solar installers, battery storage companies, EPC contractors – that's my world. Whether you need one key hire or you're growing a team, I place engineers, project managers and commercial people across the sector. But what makes the difference isn't just finding someone who ticks the boxes on paper – it's finding someone with the right attitude and drive. That's what I look for.

🏢

For Businesses

I don't just send you whoever's available. I take time to understand your team, your culture, what you actually need day-to-day. Sometimes the best hire isn't the most qualified one on paper – it's the person with the right mindset and hunger. That's what I'm looking for on your behalf.

  • Permanent & contract placements
  • Solar & battery storage specialists
  • Fast, tailored hiring process
  • UK-wide coverage
  • Direct access to the founder

For Candidates

Your CV isn't the whole story and I know that. I'll take the time to understand who you are, what drives you, and where you'd genuinely thrive – not just where you'd fill a seat. If I think you're the right person for a role, I'll make that case.

  • Exclusive renewable energy roles
  • Honest career guidance
  • Access to top employers
  • Confidential job search
  • Salary negotiation support

Why This Matters To Me

This isn't just a business.
It's personal.

Why renewable energy?

I travel a lot. I hike. I've seen enough of this planet to care deeply about what happens to it. Climate change isn't abstract to me – it's the wildlife I've seen shrinking, the weather getting stranger, the energy bills hitting people who can barely afford them.

The renewable energy sector is one of the fastest growing in the UK. Solar farms, battery storage, clean infrastructure – it's all being built at a pace we haven't seen before. That's real, and it's exciting.

The people who build this future need to be found, placed and supported properly. That's what I'm here to do.

It's about more than qualifications

A CV tells you what someone's done. It doesn't tell you how they handle pressure, whether they'll fit your team, or if they actually care about the work. That's the bit most recruiters skip. I don't.

I spend time with both sides. I ask questions that go beyond the job spec. I want to know what makes your business tick, and what a candidate is actually like to work with. That attention is how I find fits that stick.

Sometimes the most experienced person on paper is the wrong person for the role. I'd rather tell you that upfront than waste everyone's time.

"Experience matters. But attitude and work ethic get people further than qualifications alone. That's what I'm always trying to find."

What Is Renewable Energy?

Renewable energy is power generated from natural sources that replenish themselves, unlike oil or gas which run out. It is the foundation of the global shift to a cleaner, more sustainable world. Here are the key sectors we recruit in:

☀️
Solar PV

Converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. One of the fastest growing energy sources in the UK.

🔋
Battery Storage

Storing energy generated by solar and wind so it can be used when needed most. Critical to the energy transition.

💨
Wind Energy

Harnessing wind power through turbines on land and offshore. The UK is a world leader in offshore wind.

🌍
Net Zero

The UK government target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Creating thousands of new jobs across the sector.

Why Voltra Talent

You get me – not a
process. Not a system.

There's no team behind me passing your brief around. No junior handling your search while I'm on another call. You deal with me directly, start to finish – which means I actually know your situation, I remember what matters to you, and I'm personally invested in getting it right.

🤝

Personal & Hands On

You speak to me directly – every call, every update, every question. I know your brief because I took it. I know your candidates because I spoke to them. Nothing gets lost in translation.

  • ✓ Your needs are heard and remembered, not lost between departments
  • ✓ Faster decisions and quicker turnaround on roles
  • ✓ You always know exactly where things stand
  • ✓ Someone who genuinely cares about your outcome, not just closing a deal
🌍

Genuinely Passionate

I didn't fall into this. I chose renewables because I care about where the planet is heading – and I saw a real gap for a recruiter who actually knows the sector. Both things are true, and both matter to how I work.

🎯

Specialist Focus

Solar, battery storage, clean energy – that's it. No other sectors, no distractions. I know this market properly, which means I can actually help rather than just tick boxes.

🔒

Built on Trust

I'll never send you someone just to look busy. If a candidate isn't right – even if they look great on paper – I'll say so. You'll always know exactly where things stand and why.

📍

Flexible Coverage

Based in London, working UK-wide. Where the roles are, that's where I focus – no geographical limits on who I can help.

⚡

Hungry & Driven

I hike and travel to keep myself sharp. Pushing limits in my own life means I bring the same energy to finding the right people for your team. I don't stop until the job's done properly.

About Us

A start-up built on
passion & purpose

Voltra Talent was built on one belief: every client deserves proper attention, not just a process. Not a generalist agency juggling a hundred sectors. Not a machine sending CVs. Someone who listens, cares, and takes the time to get it right.

The energy transition is the defining challenge of our generation. The right people will drive it forward. That's what gets me out of bed.

I started this because I knew I could do it better – by caring more. The people I place aren't just candidates to me, and the companies I work with aren't just clients. Every single placement matters, because it matters to the people involved.
