I have to imagine an ankle holster would show pretty readily as well as the pants ride up from kneeling and rising.+1 on the ankle holster. You can carry some serious firepower (G26, 27, SP101) and be comfortable and concealed all day.
I would suggest if you have problems concealing a larger EDC while at work maybe consider a pocket pistol.
Caveat on both of these....This seems like one of the occasions where Smart Carry/Thunderwear may be a good idea. No one will ever see it, less likely to be uncomfortable than appendix carry (or any other forward position), and readily available from a kneeling position.I think a pocket pistol (.380 or single stack 9) would be good for this situation. Either that or a Smart Carry depending on your build. I've never used one, but they seem to have a decent reputation among owners. I would personally go pocket carry though. Even if it "prints," they will just assume it's a tool or phone. Plus it would be very difficult for it to fall out (for Double T's concern). I pocket carry my LC9 a lot and love it.
I also think the belt pouch (not off the body toolbag) carry for a small singe stack would be a solid idea.
What I don't think is a good idea IWB/OWB at the 3-9 o'clock positions. I feel like I should respect your right to carry, but deep down I know if I noticed a concealed piece on a contractor who hadn't informed me, I'd feel like a violation of my home had occurred.
