master tradesman
Expert guild worker
A master tradesman is a skilled craftsperson who has achieved the highest level of qualification in a trade—carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, masonry, and the like.
The designation typically requires years of apprenticeship and journeyman experience, demonstrated expertise, and often formal certification.
A master tradesman can train apprentices and work independently: He earned his credentials as a master tradesman after fifteen years in the field.
