(dated) One who works in or with lead.

Hannah Spencer, a local plumber and Green party councillor, was elected as the party’s first MP in northern England after overturning Labour’s 13,000-vote majority.
Origin: From , from (French plombier); from , from lead or lead shot. The verb sense “to botch” is perhaps from the negative stereotype of the occupation. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
