He puts up Oriental clergyman (7)
I believe the answer is:
erector
'he puts up' is the definition.
(someone who erects things)
'oriental clergyman' is the wordplay.
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'clergyman' becomes 'rector' (rector is a kind of clergyman).
'e'+'rector'='ERECTOR'
(Other definitions for erector that I've seen before include "Muscle" , "The individual raising" , "puts things up" , "Builder" , "One who puts (something) up" .)
