I hung out with him and had a drink on the weekend thinking it was totally casual but it is clear now that he is interested and I am not. He keeps calling and of course I see him everyday at work. How do I politely turn him down and still maintain a good working environment?

 Hmm... how about just pulling him aside for a private conversation. Explain to him that because you're working together it's not possible to have a relationship with him... and hopefully your company is large enough to have an employee manual that might say something about employee fraternization and back up your statement. I'd also say pad your discussion by saying something like "for now, all we can be is friends and I don't want to jeopardize your job or mine".
Good luck!!

 There is a lot you can do. Tell him you are intrested in someone else, but you value his friendship. Or you can tell him that you arnt good with relationships. Or you can tell him you are a lesbian, lol. Be creative. Time heals everything, he'll be ok.
