Background

About Michael Rotsa

With over 20 years of experience across estates management, construction, property maintenance, and specialist insurance remediation, I have built a career rooted in delivering operational excellence, strategic leadership, and value for money in diverse and challenging environments. From founding and growing my own successful construction and property services company, to leading multi-site estates portfolios for education and housing providers, my career has combined hands-on technical expertise with high-level strategic oversight. I’ve managed capital works programmes, driven compliance across estates, handled complex disrepair cases, and provided expert insurance claim management — consistently ensuring projects and portfolios were safe, compliant, cost-effective, and aligned to the organisation’s long-term objectives. I thrive when leading multi-disciplinary teams, embedding strong compliance cultures, and working with senior stakeholders to align estates strategies with operational and financial priorities. My technical background in water damage restoration, building pathology, and structural remediation gives me a unique forensic eye for detail, while my leadership roles across education, housing, and private sector estates have given me the commercial and operational acumen needed to succeed at Board level.
