TL;DR
For formal employment, the employer should normally handle the work-permit process. The permit is linked to the type of activity rather than a specific job title, and working without formal employment may leave a foreign worker without authorization.
When taking a formal job, confirm that the employer will handle the work-permit application. According to the discussions, the employer is expected to complete this process for a hired employee.
The permit is considered in relation to the type of activity, not simply the job title. Before applying, check how the employer describes your actual work and business activity.
If the employer does not arrange the permit, the employee may be unable to obtain it independently because the process depends on the hiring company’s actions.
Do not assume a job is formal if there is no official employment arrangement and no permit. In that situation, your worker status may be unregulated and you may be working without the required authorization.
