ah. I didn't realize you meant a work visa. I forget that's also a non-immigrant visa. When you first arrive it will be too early for you to apply for your extension. Even the most generous offices only let you apply when you have 45 days or less left.
That means you can get started on the work permit but not the extension. Just make sure you purchase a re-entry permit before you leave Thailand. When you're at passport control at the airport on the way out, tell the officer you'd like to purchase a re-entry permit and they will direct you to the correct place. You'll need 1200 baht in cash.
