At age 21 Jewett began his own business career, attaining success in the mercantile partnerships of Hubbard & Jewett and Jewett, Howes & Co. Jewett was later involved in railroad construction, including sections of the Vermont Central Railroad and Ontario's Great Western Railway.

Jewett became a Republican when that party was founded in the mid-1850s, and was one of Vermont's presidential electors in 1872.
