In How to Train Your Dragon, what is Gobber’s occupation in Berk?

In How to Train Your Dragon, Gobber’s occupation in Berk is blacksmith.

Gobber the Belch is Berk’s blacksmith and one of Stoick the Vast’s most trusted advisers. He makes and repairs weapons, tools, armor, and other equipment used by the Viking community. His workshop is also where Hiccup learns practical metalworking and begins developing ideas that later help him and Toothless fly.

Gobber is a veteran dragon fighter who has lost several limbs, but the films present him as energetic, humorous, and highly capable. His role is broader than that of a background craftsman: he helps train the young Vikings, supports Hiccup, and often provides advice to Stoick. In the English version, Gobber is voiced by Craig Ferguson. The name “Gobber the Belch” can make the character seem defined only by comedy, but his blacksmithing skills are essential to Berk’s technology and to Hiccup’s inventions.
