Well, it's a big engineering company that often hires engineers for a couple of years at a time, so they have the same policy with IT people; projects can last many years, so people are contracted for 6 months at a time through various Ltds (for tax purposes).

But if I do stay for a few years, it will be ironic.

Quite well I think, waiting to hear from them; the only sticking point was the distance from home, which I don't consider a problem but they took some convincing.

In my experience most permie jobs don't.
