Quartz.SchedulerException: Problem instantiating class - Quartz is not executing as expected

Question

This is my Job which needs to be executed every one minute, this has the dependency on logger

public class RefreshJob :IJob
{
    public RefreshJob(IContainerFactory containerFactory)
    {
        _logger = containerFactory.GetInstance<ILogger>();          
    }

    public Task Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
    {
         return Task.Run(() =>
            {
                _logger.Information("Executing sample job");
                _logger.Information($"Name: {context.JobDetail.Key.Name}");
                _logger.Information($"Description: '{context.JobDetail.Description}'");
                _logger.Information($"Fire time utc: {context.FireTimeUtc:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss zzz}");
            });
    }
}

Here is my dependency injection

   var containerFactory = new ContainerFactory();//class with GetInstance method.
  _builder.Register(c => new RefreshJob(containerFactory)).SingleInstance();

This is how I get the scheduler reference

static async Task<IScheduler> GetScheduler()
{
    var factory = new StdSchedulerFactory();
    return await factory.GetScheduler();
}

and I use it in start method of my windows service

public void Start()
{
    Task<IScheduler> scheduler = GetScheduler();
    scheduler.Wait();
    _jobScheduler = scheduler.Result;
    _jobScheduler.Start();

    //Trigger
    IJobDetail job = JobBuilder.Create<RefreshCacheJob>().Build();
    ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
        .WithIdentity("RefreshJob", "GroupName")
        .StartAt(DateTime.Now)
        .WithPriority(1)
        .Build();
    _jobScheduler.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);
}

But nothing happens. By the way, I am using Quartz scheduler inside windows service

Updated the error

Quartz.SchedulerException: Problem instantiating class 'Scheduler.RefreshJob' ---> System.ArgumentException: Cannot instantiate type which has no empty constructor Parameter name: RefreshJob

If there's a need to inject a service into the job, follow this guide as @foips commented. Basically you need the following line in your DI container:

services.AddQuartz(q =>
{
    ...
    q.UseMicrosoftDependencyInjectionJobFactory();
    ...
}
