overhaulers
Those who repair
Overhaulers are people who overhaul things—taking apart machinery, systems, or organizations to repair, rebuild, or thoroughly renovate them.
The term appears most often in industrial contexts: engine overhaulers, transmission overhaulers.
It can extend to anyone who conducts comprehensive reform: The new CEO positioned herself as an overhauler of corporate culture.
