botcher
One who fumbles
A botcher is someone who bungles work through clumsiness or lack of skill.
The word implies not just failure but messy, careless failure—a repair job that makes things worse, a task completed so poorly it needs redoing.
The previous contractor was such a botcher that we had to gut the whole bathroom.
