Morphology
hand + job
The components 'hand' (instrument) and 'job' (task/act) make it partly predictable that this denotes an action performed with the hand, but the specific sexual meaning (manual stimulation of the penis) is a culturally marked, slang sense that a B1 learner is unlikely to derive reliably from the parts alone. The expression's informal/vulgar register and the vagueness of 'job' make the connection only partially transparent rather than fully compositional.
Etymology
The slang hand job comes from joining hand and job: 'job' once meant a small task, and here the phrase names an act done with the hand. That's why it now means a 'sexual act' done with the hand.
