I know that for the British Columbia PNP, the job offer does not need to be supported by LMIA.
I am wondering if the job offer can be conditional? My employer said they can give me a job offer (without LMIA) with a condition that my current job (with an end date - because I am on PGWP) will be converted to a permanent (indeterminate) job once I get my PR. So basically, they will be saying in the letter that my temporary position will be made permanent and indeterminate once I get my PR.
Will such a conditional job offer be valid for PNP?

Agree with @scylla as the job must be full time and permanent from the outset. Your employer has to fill out all the forms and will have sign off on this.
This is what I don't understand - since I am on a PGWP, how is my employer supposed to give me an indeterminate job offer knowing that I can't be here in Canada indefinitely without my PR?
Will this be an option: they provide me an indeterminate job offer which I provide IRCC. And they also make me sign a separate letter where they say the offer is only valid if I get my PR (which is something between me and my employer and I don't give this to IRCC)? Does this work?

But the employer declaration form that your employer must complete has sections to sign off that the job is permanent and full-time. Employer also has to show that they couldn’t hire a Canadian or PR so that is why the position must be permanent.

The fact you are on a PGWP doesn't prevent your employer from giving you a permanent / indeterminate job (vs. contract). Plenty of people on temporary work permits have permanent jobs.
The letter the employer provides to IRCC must indicate the job is permanent / indeterminate. If the employer is contacted by IRCC, they must confirm this.
