First, let your work ethics bring God glory. Second, keep an eye out for those you see struggling with life's circumstances.
Third, when you work with someone then occasionally include your faith in the conversation.
Fourth, be wise and diligently listening to ask good questions that probe into things of the Word. Jesus was good at asking questions to cause people to think.
Sometimes it is best to just get them thinking about the logic or reasons behind what they believe with good questions. It may help them realize, their beliefs are not all that solid. If you can shake the foundation, they may continue the conversation more in detail at that moment or later.

Welcome.
Is your capacity a resident chaplain? If yes, then people are aware. As someone who preaches the Gospel I am in close proximity to others who are preaching the Gospel. So I notice various styles and various tactics.
I'm a purist so I try to present the Gospel with as few distractions as possible. The idea is that even though it will attract fewer people, it will attract people who are singularly seeking the Gospel.
Other groups have a lot of fun activities. People are much more attracted to fun activities and things that are decidedly not the Gospel. We see this at churches a lot who have a lot of extra incentives. They do much better compared to churches with fewer activities.
Depends on your style. You should try to keep it interesting and engaging.

read some books by Timothy Keller who started this church in NYC reaching the urban working population of young professionals...it seems this church has many programs and opportunities for working people to learn more about faith and how to apply it in their professional lives. Things like seminars and retreats as well as different ministires according to what profession people are, eg theres different groups for artists, writers, financiers, doctors, lawyers, etc.
Some workplaces have prayer time or weekly bible studies. Usually held in lunchtimes.

"We are living in a world that has lost their cultural integrity, and it will worsen.
Less and less shall be grounded in God's work that needs done, here in the now.
And, but a few shall endure to the end. These things must be accepted from a society
that has lost their spiritual equilibrium, and to know these things have been told of...to be."

Another tip. From my experience just coming out and proclaiming the gospel is going to bring a critical spirit your way. The gospel is not everything in the Bible because the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God neither can he know them because they are foolishness to Him. God’s message for the unbeliever is the Gospel as described 1 Corithians 15 v 1-4 The preaching of the Cross as described in in 1 Corinthians not with wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect. When you understand the power behind the message to the unbeliever there will be plenty of opportunities to make mention of the Jesus , the cross , the resurrecton without getting into a big drawn out conversation The idea being that one plants one waters and God gives the increase. As workers together with Him as praying for the ministry of the Holy Spirit upon them and us..He is faithful . As in the last few verses of Isaiah 55 as the rain and snow come down from heaven and water the earth and make it spring forth and bud . So shall my Word be which goes forth out of my mouth it shall not return to me void. God gives the increase. The power of God is behind the gospel. As described in Ephesians 1:15-23 Not a weak message but one that was intended by The Lord to be shared with all who did believe, The Apostles said they were “witnesses of His resurrection” The message of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the gospel. Not something which no man can know prior to reconciliation when they receive the ability to understand , eternal spiritual things. Until then it’s the gospel your prayers. Also …herein is my father glorified that you bear much fruit. Manifesting Christ and the divine life He gives is an important factor. God works in our lives over a lifetime , I saw both parents and my 4 sibs come to the Lord. Over 25 years for my dad , on his death bed but bringing the Holy Spirits ministry into someones life by simply Ask and ye shall Receive. Is definately Life and that more abundantly. How much more shall your Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. ?
