There is no automatic switch from TPS to green card. You would need to be sponsored by your employer for a green card on the basis of an offer of fulltime permanent employment. If the employer is willing to do that, then you can start the process of applying for a green card on the basis of the employment. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need assistance.
