Morphology
The meaning 'an excellent or very impressive performance' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fantastic' (exceptionally good) with 'job' (task or piece of work). This straightforward adjective+noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fantastic job puts together fantastic (meaning wonderful or almost unreal) and job (the work someone does). It creates the picture of work so good it seems almost magical, so we say fantastic job to mean 'an excellent or very impressive performance'.
