Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Job description
English term or phrase: Wiper
This is the job title of a person who worked on a container ship.
I've found a job description at Wikpedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiper_(occupation), but no French equivalent.
GDT suggests "essuyeur de joints" but it refers to someone working in the construction industry, not shipping.

TIA for your help.
