You can look for work but the tourist visa CANNOT be converted to a work visa. You will have to leave, go back to your home country and then follow the application process for a work visa - if you are able to find an employer who is willing to offer you a job and a visa.

Chances are next to impossible until and unless the company has a open Australian work visa currently or can issue an Australian work visa if it abides with the Saudization rules.
But you never know what lies ahead!
So all the best
