You can use SSIS for that.

Check out this blog post from Luca Zavarelli on how to do it from PowerShell: https://towardsdatascience.com/extracting-data-from-azure-sql-server-huge-tables-in-rfc-4180-compliant-csv-files-1cb09a7a0883
Might be less heavy artillery than SSIS.

I need to write this script in MS Sql only
SSIS stands for SQL Server Integration Services.
SSIS packages execution is usually scheduled via SQL Server Agent jobs.
I need to write this script in MS Sql only
You said that you needed an Agent job. You can run PowerShell jobs from Agent.
What you cannot (easily) do from MS SQL only is to write files. You can do it, if you write a CLR procedure, but that is advanced. (Yeah, some people use xp_cmdhsell + BCP, but then it is not "MS SQL only".) A PowerShell script is the easiest solution. Unless you already know SSIS.
In addition to the above two answers, you can also refer to this link. There are a lot of targeted methods inside.
