Worker works with skilful movements (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manoeuvres

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'skilful movements' is the definition.
'manoeuvres' can be an answer for 'movements' (manoeuvre is a kind of movement). I am unsure of the 'skilful' bit.

'worker works' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of worker).
'works' becomes 'oeuvres' (an oeuvre is someone's collected works).
'man'+'oeuvres'='MANOEUVRES'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manoeuvres that I've seen before include "Soldier works" , "training exercise" .)
