1.
work colleague; workmate; coworker
A person one works with, emphasizing the sense of companionship and shared effort rather than formal organizational hierarchy.
Carries a warmer, more personal tone than 同僚 (colleague). 仲間 implies camaraderie and a sense of being on the same team, so 仕事仲間 suggests people you get along with at work, not merely people who happen to work at the same place.
