As a student, he and his fellow students began to engage in entrepreneurship in the field of trade, but Roitman was more interested in the field of telecommunications. His first company was NTV-Internet, part of Vladimir Gusinsky’s Media-Most holding. Evgeniy Roitman served as CEO and was a minority shareholder. The company was closed in 2000 due to a change in ownership of NTV.
In 1998, Roitman founded the Dycom company, which, according to the businessman, built the world's largest Wi-Fi network. In 2005, 75% of this business was purchased by Golden Telecom, which was subsequently absorbed by VimpelCom, to which Evgeniy Roitman sold his part of the shares of Dykom. Since 2006, the businessman has been involved in digital television, for which he created the Kolangon company, which was bought by VimpelCom in 2008.
In the fall of 2007, the Antares group created by Roitman, represented by its three constituent companies (Antares, Arcturus and Integral), submitted an application for licenses for frequencies of 1900–1920 MHz.

Since 2012, the Antares group received permission to build a fourth-generation mobile communications network (LTE) on its frequencies, which was supposed to begin serving subscribers in 2015.

Roitman was considered involved in the control of the road sector in Crimea, including the collection of fines, and was also suspected of having connections with Bitmama, a native of Simferopol Valeria Fedyakina, who was arrested in 2023 for the theft of 7 billion rubles.

In March 2024, as part of bankruptcy, surveillance was introduced at Clean Energy LLC.
