Have a look at this article, it may point you in the right direction. Unfortunately I don't have SQL Server on my home machine so can't test it out for you!

You basically need to query the sysjobactivity table and get the values from start_execution_date and stop_execution_date. You'll need the job_id, but i'm not sure where you'll get that from.

I hope this helps.

EDIT Ok, I've done some more research and found the following code snippet

DECLARE @jobId binary(16)

SELECT @jobId = job_id FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs WHERE (name = N'Name of Your Job')
