Can i apply for ILR with the job offer letter or i'll need a Tier 2 general visa first?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help.
My 6 years on Tier 2 complete in January and I have been offered a new role in the same company but in a different SOC code which takes me over the minimum £35,500 bracket to apply for the settlement.
My question is, will my company have to apply for Tier 2 work visa in the new category first before I can apply for the settlement visa or can I apply for settlement/ indefinite with the contract letter offered by my company as I have already been on Tier 2 for more than 5 years?
If the company will apply for the new tier 2 visa then will home office just give me the visa for a couple of months (until Jan) and I will have to apply for settlement before my visa expires?
Thank you for your help.
