I’m not sure about the function of the bold part. Is the もんでね the continuative
form of もんだね (which has the nuance of “that's the way it is" or 当然), as
explained in this
[thread](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/11950/what-exactly-is-
this-%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AD-construction)?

Or does this もんでね mean “because”, like ものだから/ものですから?

Understanding もんでね
なもの suggests that one is describing something that's true and can't be changed
(e.g. 太陽ってのは明るいものだ、親というのはそういうものだ).

Here, これも仕事なものだから means "this is part of my job (and I can't change that) -
therefore". It's used as an "excuse", as in "I may or may not be finding it
unfortunate, but regardless it's like this and I can't change it. So I'll have
to act this way".

Other examples include: そういう性格なもんでね、そういう決まりなもんでね etc
