Breast pump is the answer, and you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.Doing it manually works as well but not as good. It will help if you bring a picture of your child at work,because the mental part in breastfeeding is very important! And you will have to do it many times a day to keep your milk flow going, so see with your employer if you can get a private place to do it and a place in the fridge. Think of your child as you do it, it is important.
When both my kids were born, just earing a baby's cry made my breasts leek a lot! Even if it wasn't mine. And don't give up, it can be hard at the beginning but there'S resources available everywhere. With my first kid i had problems and a nurse came to my house to help me a couple times...he wasn't latching properly.
Oh , and congratulations!

Unless you plan on bringing your baby to work with you, will need to express your milk. This means extracting milk from your breasts to put into bottles which can be fed to your baby when you aren't there. You can do this by hand or with a special pump.
You will find a good article about expressing milk here:
