To say "As always, a job well done today!"to a female co-worker , would the 2nd version be the correct way?

¡Como siempre, un trabajo bien hecho hoy! or !Como siempre, un trabaja bien hecha hoy!

Trabajo is a masculine noun, not an adjective, so its gender is independent of the gender of the person who completed the job (in this case, a female). Therefore, the first version is fine.

"o" as trabajo is the noun.

Hola, Zalone,

To say "As always, a job well done! should suffice.

The word today is not really necessary, as it is inferred by the sentence. So, ¡Como siempre, un trabajo bien hecho! would be perfectly fine.
