blunderer
One who fumbles
A blunderer is someone who makes careless mistakes or acts clumsily.
The word suggests repeated incompetence rather than a single error—a blunderer habitually stumbles through situations: The investigation was led by blunderers who contaminated evidence at every turn.
It carries more contempt than simply calling someone clumsy or mistaken.
