Considering, you have SQL script stored somewhere in the file system, you can use SQLServer.ConnectionContext.ExectueNonQuery( string ScriptData).

Still the link given would be helpful to you. However, just out of curiosity when you can schedule a job, why do you want to execute it from C#. And if you just want to execute if from C# (and don't want to schedule it) then why create a job at all. Hope you understand what I mean.

I am just assuming that you already have a scheduled job running, but also want the facility to run it manually. You may want to look into this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186757.aspx
