About Sunshine State Hire

Family owned. Industry experienced.

Who we are

Jared and Katie.

Together for 10 years and married for three, Jared and Katie have built and operated successful construction businesses while raising their two children.

Their background includes plastering and painting, mould remediation, property renovation and development, retaining walls, drainage and machinery operation across Australia and New Zealand.

After previously running a team of around 35 employees, they chose to scale back and build a family-focused business that creates more time with their children.
