No, esto se refiere a "un obra" o un objecto. Para decir " yo tengo un nuevo trabajo" puede decir : "I have a new job."
The English definition is: A product or manufactured article, especially an item of art or craft.
So, if you just completed a new painting or sculpture or screenplay, you can say "I created a new piece of work."
It can also be used sarcastically, as in "He's a piece of work," which generally means that he's done something annoying.

Este tipo es un pesado de marca.
