bumbler
Perpetually fumbling person
A bumbler is someone who acts clumsily or incompetently, making mistakes through carelessness or lack of skill.
The word suggests repeated fumbling rather than a single error: The investigation was led by bumblers who contaminated the crime scene.
A bumbler may mean well but consistently botches execution.
