Hi adona
If you check out the business and commercial guidance notes for employers at
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/6353/1 ... uidmay.pdf it actually says
If you are applying for a work permit to enable a person who has worked for you while here under another category of the Immigration Rules (for example as a Working Holiday Maker or student) to continue in that employment, you will still be required to show that you have sought to fill the post with a ‘resident worker’
which would appear to mean you with a SEGS visa, and
You will need to show why you cannot fill the post with a 'resident worker' (see paragraph 2). In most cases you will also need to give details of your recruitment methods and give credible reasons why you did not employ a suitably qualified or experienced 'resident worker' or one who, with extra training, could do the job.
which covers what you said about the training you have had.
You said earlier
The reason my employer looking for my work permit is they have spend resources and money to train myself. I have been with the company for past 2 years and knows most of the work and any one else will take time to understand the system.
According to this, your employer should still advertise the post and show that there are no suitable resident workers, and even that there are no resident workers who need some extra training.
Your employer would have to give a very, very good reason why they should not have to prove that there are no resident workers or give advertising, IMO.

Since the OP has been working with the employer for some time legally, there is no way the HO can make a person umemployed by refusing a WP for the same position in the same organisation.
but if this was the case, the HO would have to approve every application for a job on the tills in Tesco, or every extremely senior job that is paid at the National Minimum Wage, if the person has already been doing the job working legally.
