German term
Ausbaumaurer
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Berufsbezeichnung
aus einem DDR-Zeugnis
Ausbildung als Ausbaumaurer
"Ausbaumaurer" ist eine spezifische DDR-Bezeichnung für Maurer-Facharbeiter d.h. eine Maurer, der vorwiegend im Hochbau arbeitet also mauert, verputzt, Trockenbau,
ich würde ihn als skilled/professionally trained bricklayer bezeichnen. Wer hat andere Ideen?

Bricklayer passt m.E. eher nicht, da verputzen und Trockenbau ja plastering und dry walling sind.

Conny did point out that this is a specific DDR term for a jack of several trades.

Might work here.
Plasterer/stucco mason
http://www.collegegrad.com/careers/const17.shtml
Plasterers are skilled craft workers who finish the interior surfaces of homes and buildings with plaster coating to strengthen, soundproof, insulate, and fireproof them. On the outside of buildings, they use cement plasters or stucco because these materials are strong and weatherproof. Plasterers who cast decorative molding, cornices, and paneling are called ornamental plasterers.
Plasterers work with carpenters, bricklayers, lathers, painters, and other craft workers. The carpenters build the frame of the building. Then lathers install the lath, a backing of wire mesh or gypsum board to which plaster sticks.

: Sounds about right! (Even though mason on its own would be way off the mark...)

indeed a term specifically used in the former DDR ' apparently replaced with "Maurer" even though it doesn't seem to cover the entire scope of skills required. for that particular job description
