English term or phrase: Ground worker
This occupation appears on a birth certificate (father's occupation). Obviously there is no context so I don't know what kind of a ground worker we are talking about. I am looking for a general term in Spanish. I need help! Thank you.

jornalero


Explanation:
Según una descripción que encontré, hace muchas cosas diferentes que en español abarcan diferentes oficios. Yo lo generalizaría en jornalero. Una sola palabra para formatos que tienen poco espacio y seguro abarca lo que esta persona realiza exactamente.

Saludos =)
