This prayer is an elaboration on its first line, a quote from Job 25:2. In its original context, עוֹשֶׂה (oseh) is a verb meaning "he makes." However, when this phrase is taken out of that context, this word could instead be a noun in construct state, meaning "maker of." This latter interpretation is what is most often chosen for this prayer. I could not find a source which explains why, but I speculate that perhaps it is to indicate to the purpose of this line in the prayer. Most likely, this line is included not to state that God "makes peace in His heights" (as is its purpose in Job) but to indicate who we are asking: Job's God who is the "maker of peace in His heights."
Additionally, the word מְרוֹמָיו (m'romav), meaning "His heights" or "His high places", is sometimes translated as "heaven." Although less poetic than the Hebrew, I personally find doing this results in less stilted English.
