People Behind Your Power: Jessey Swails

June 5, 2024

The people behind your power are people just like you. We live, work and play in Central Indiana. We have families, pets, hobbies, and quirks. We volunteer and strive to make a difference. We are also a part of a dedicated team focused on powering your essential needs.

Meet Jessey Swails, Journeyman Lineman. Jesse constructs, maintains, and monitors equipment on the electrical grid serving AES Indiana customers. His role involves safely installing and repairing electrical power systems, including transmission and distribution lines. He performs routine checks and troubleshooting issues that arise and responds to emergencies such as power outages and storm damage to restore service quickly and safely. His work is critical in maintaining the efficiency and stability of the electrical grid for the Indianapolis community and AES Indiana customers. Jesse has been with AES Indiana for seven and a half years.
