I wanted to create a Job object for a JobId of a job that doesn't exist. This was to check the Job.exists() method. It also would be useful for an architecture where one process creates a job and then sends the job ID string to another process to check for the status.

It appears that there is no way to create a Job except for BigQuery.create http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/google-cloud-java/0.3.0/apidocs/index.html

All the builder constructors and actual constructors are package-private.

I tried using some of the of() methods inherited from JobInfo but the compiler complained that they returned a JobInfo, not a Job.
