Poe uses the word work three times in the story, and your question is the first. The second time is this: "I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work;", and the third is in reference to the work of concealing the body. I believe that "the work", according to the narrator, is the elimination of the vulture (or evil) eye.

What are some suspenseful points in The Tell-Tale Heart?
One is where the narrator first looks into the landlord's bedroom with the intent to kill him, but the narrator does nothing at that time. Another is the second time the narrator peaks into the landlord's bedroom and he sees his vulture like eye open. The old man calls out and the narrator fears he is being seen and stays still for, as he says about an hour. Another point of suspense is when the narrator is talking to the policemen and he fears the policemen can hear the beating heart.
