You are a
mathematician, specifically an algebraist.
I like to work individually, but I work in groups.
Groups are a fundamental algebraic construct.
I like to work in my office, but I work in the field.
Fields are another fundamental algebraic construct.

I can think of a few possibilities but I'll go with this one... is it
a Bee
I like to work individually, but I work in groups.
Working individually, but also working as part of a larger group
I like to work in my office, but I work in the field.
Working in the beehive, but working in the field (the field being a field of flowers for example)
Also, and I really don't think this was intended - it's more for my own amusement
If you read the first letters of the first two paragraphs aloud, I b I b (ie. "I bee, I bee")

You are a
particle physicist
I like to work individually, but I work in groups.
Group theory is a fundamental part of particle physics
I like to work in my office, but I work in the field.
Quantum Field Theory is the basic description of quantum particles

$\begingroup$ Very nice answer, not exactly what I meant, but certainly a possibility. $\endgroup$ Jul 25, 2016 at 15:57

A programmer?
I like to work individually, but I work in groups.
A lone worker, but the project is called 'Groups'
I like to work in my office, but I work in the field.
The 'field' of computer programming

4$\begingroup$ I don't find this answer very strong. Almost anything can have a project called groups. $\endgroup$ Jul 25, 2016 at 16:04

It think you are
Me in high school
I like to work individually, but I work in groups.
I worked better individually, but I was frequently assigned to work on group projects instead
I like to work in my office, but I work in the field.
I preferred doing work at home, but often had to do work while at school. I'm not sure you know so much about me in high school but it's a little creepy.

You are a
vowel
I like to work individually,
Most of the vowels here are singles and are perfectly functional.
but I work in groups.
Vowels can work in groups too. Groups has a pair of vowels.
I like to work in my office,
Again, all the vowels are separated by consonants.
but I work in the field.
But they work together in Field.
