SPContext.Current.Web.Url will not work in timer job as it runs in farm level , use full URL ..... — vinayak hegde, Jan 18 '16 at 13:14

As said in comment, your code'll never work since SPContext is null when using SPTimerJob. (Note this is the same for EventReceiver)

You can enhanced the constructor of your job to retrieve more information. So, in your case you could do :

public StatusCompleted(SPWebApplication webApplication, string TargetSite)
        : base(jobName, webApplication, null,SPJobLockType.Job)
{
    Title = "Completed Projects Job";
    Properties.Add("TargetSite", TargetSite);
}

Then, when you call your Execute() method, you can retrieve the site :

string targetList = (this.Properties["TargetList"] ?? string.Empty).ToString();
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(targetSite))
{
   using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
   {
   //TO DO
   }
}

Hope this helps

And last thought, don't forget to debug your TimerJob. It'll be very useful to find the error. You just have to attach your Visual Studio to the process OWSTIMER.exe.
