Video clip for a documentary
There's a clip of a man working in a car factory, who's complaining about his job. He says that they're always talking about performance, imrpovement, going faster etc, but it's unrealistic. Then he says something that sounds like (the audio on the clip is poor, especially as there is a lot of background noise) 'chiodeur'. It does, however, seem to confuse the interviewer, who repeats the word to confirm it. The man then says 'c'est un métier de chiodeur' - any help decifering what this word could be would be much appreciated!
Proposed translations

whore
Sentence 'c'est un métier de chiodeur' translates "it's a whore job".
The sense is that the man criticizes the working style typical of the commercial world.

chiada / chiader : travailler avec soin

Des déplacements, c’est-à-dire, une personne, je sais, pas, pour faire un véhicule, elle va faire peut-être dix pas…ou si nous avec ***chiadeur*** on peut réduire à deux pas, elle mettra peut-être un visse de plus, c’est par contre un récupe de pas, donc c’est vrai qu’à la fin de la journée, si c’est tellement moins fatiguant de mettre un visse de plus que de faire un pas chaque fois.
Shame that the audio is so awful, I feel your pain!

I don't think confidentiality is an issue unless the recording identifies your client. And your transcription doesn't give us enough to go on, which is not your fault.
On parle toujours de performance, d’un coup
[mumble mumble] sont alliés à la vitesse.
Vous avez [mumble mumble] mais **chiodeur**
Interviewer : Non ?
**Chiodeur**
Interviewer : Oh.
Un méthode de **chiodeur**.
Re: posting the recording: a) I don't think I can on ProZ? And n) I signed an NDA.
"Vous me pardonnerez l'expression", I would say.
Qui chiade, travailleur - Qui travaille beaucoup.
Synonyme :
bûcheur (familier)

And I wondered how the French say "pardon my French".
