Short answer is no. You must be holding a study permit and complete your studies under a study permit in order to qualify for a PGWP. Since you are on a work permit, you don't qualify for a PGWP.

You need a new employer specific work permit. You'll need to determine if that work permit is LMIA exempt or not.

Then I guess that answers your question, You need to talk to them about a job offer so that you can get another employer specific work permit.
