I'm not sure how to get what you want from a PivotTable.
However, Excel has made several improvements over the past few years so you can do the needful on your own (assuming you have the appropriate version of Excel).
Suppose that
* your data are in a table as Excel understands it (Insert | Table) and
* that the job of interest is in H2.
Then the 1st formula will give you a list of unique dates for the job and the 2nd formula will give you a count of the unique dates.
=UNIQUE(FILTER(Table1[Date],Table1[Job No]=H2))
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(Table1[Date],Table1[Job No]=H2)))
