Hi there Pandabear. I think what you are looking for are Leaders (Trust Level 4) as they can preform common moderator actions such as close, pin, merge etc but cannot handle flags or delete posts. However, this is site wide.

Another option at your disposal is [Category Group Review/Moderation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478) you can configure what categories they get to moderate. I think that would work better.

Hope this is helpful.
