    You can write a stored proc which monitor the sysprocesses in master.. credit goes to SQL Alert when stored procedure executes for too long

    First, you’ll need a new UDF, which will translate the job id into the process id for a JOIN:

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_SysJobs_GetProcessid(@job_id uniqueidentifier)
    RETURNS VARCHAR(8)
    AS
    BEGIN
        RETURN (substring(left(@job_id,8),7,2) +
        substring(left(@job_id,8),5,2) +
        substring(left(@job_id,8),3,2) +
        substring(left(@job_id,8),1,2))
    END
    

    And then the sproc:

    CREATE PROC sp_check_job_running 
        @job_name char(50),
        @minutes_allowed int, 
        @person_to_notify varchar(50) 
    
    AS 
    
    DECLARE @minutes_running int, 
        @message_text varchar(255)
    
    SELECT @minutes_running = isnull(DATEDIFF(mi, p.last_batch, getdate()), 0)
    FROM master..sysprocesses p
    JOIN msdb..sysjobs j ON dbo.udf_sysjobs_getprocessid(j.job_id) = substring(p.program_name,32,8)
    WHERE j.name = @job_name
    
    IF @minutes_running > @minutes_allowed 
        BEGIN
          SELECT @message_text = ('Job ' + UPPER(SUBSTRING(@job_name,1,LEN(@job_name))) + ' has been running for ' + SUBSTRING(CAST(@minutes_running AS char(5)),1,LEN(CAST(@minutes_running AS char(5)))) + ' minutes, which is over the allowed run time of ' + SUBSTRING(CAST(@minutes_allowed AS char(5)),1,LEN(CAST(@minutes_allowed AS char(5)))) + ' minutes.') 
          EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
            @recipients = @person_to_notify,
            @body = @message_text,
            @subject = 'Long-Running Job to Check' 
        END
    

    Then you can exec the stored proc as

    EXEC sp_check_job_running 'JobNameGoesHere', 5, 'admin@mycompany.com'
