Work could be a countable noun.  You could say, "I have done many good works."

Hi Julia,

a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price: ... We "work" at our "jobs", and "work" can be used to refer to our "jobs", but the underlying difference is, "work" can be used in areas where its just labour, while "job" refers specifically to paid work
