hard worker
Someone industrious, tireless
A hard worker is someone who puts sustained effort into their tasks, showing diligence and dedication.
The phrase emphasizes consistent application rather than mere talent: She's not the smartest in the office, but she's a hard worker.
Often used as praise, though sometimes with the implication that effort compensates for other limitations.
