What would be a catchy archetype name for a zero-g construction worker? (I was thinking about “Star Rigger” but that appears to have been snatched as a term for pilots in a popular SF novel series.)

Space Monkey. ‘Deck Ape’ is naval slang for someone maintaining the ship; I could see Space Monkey following suit from a history of launching chimps into orbit married to the same sort of grueling physical labor.
Tumbler (from the amount of spinning around they probably do).
Vacuumneck (from “roughneck”)
Frozen Rosie (because it’s cold, and Rosie the Riveter)
I like Adam D “Tumbler”
Or “VaccRigger” (I tend to use “Vacc” i.e. vacuum as a swear word in my games, so your mileage may vary)
The Ousters are a group of humans who have chosen to physiologically adapt themselves to extrasolar and microgravity environments.

Hmm.. let’s Void, Space, Vacuum, Vacc, Black, Empty, Tooler, Knocker, Builder, Faber, Squid, Ape, Monkey, Weasel, Mite (as in Termite).. Should be able to make a something you like from that.
My favorites are Vacc knocker (Tin knocker is a person that does the A/C vents in construction) and Voidmite.
It also occurs to me that “Pancake” might be a mocking term for these folks.
Space hogs (like sandhogs, but in space)
Fireflies (from the twinkle of welders from the windows of a station)
Tethers or tether apes or tether fleas (from all the time they spend in safety harnesses)
How about “star hog”?
Zero-Geenies, “We are all Gilberts”
If you’re looking for a more generic term or job description for an Archetype, something as simple as Void Rigger would work, because it sells the fantasy without needing context.
Void Rigger is also awesome.
Drifter?
