Good beam for hard worker (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grafter

'hard worker' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good beam' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'beam' becomes 'rafter' (rafter is a kind of beam).
'g'+'rafter'='GRAFTER'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for grafter that I've seen before include "Hard worker - corrupt operator" , "One who works hard" .)
