Unless you work totally independently, you will interact with others at the company. Look for opportunities to say how much you enjoy working with them and would love to have a permanent position. Word will spread so you intentions will be known. As you contract is nearing its end, come right out and let them know that while you’d love your contract to be extended, you’d love for the position be made permanent. Be ready to list the reasons why, including how it will benefit the company.

I would suggest asking other employees in the company their thoughts on how to seek a permanent role with the company.

I would suggest being straight forward, telling you manager that you would be interested if this were to become a FT position. Best of luck
