yeoman

A yeoman is a person who works hard and does their job well. They often have practical skills and are good with their hands.

In everyday language, "yeoman" is sometimes used to describe someone who takes care of something or helps out in a particular area. For example, you might call the maintenance staff at your university's student union building the yeomen because they keep everything running smoothly. This usage of the word has nothing to do with its historical meaning of being a high-ranking official on a ship (that's more of an archaic term). In modern English, it's mostly used in a general sense, implying someone who is hardworking and reliable, like a farmer or handyman.
