What kind of skills do you need them to have?

No one starts off knowing everything; when I first started editing, I had to have help for basic things, even adding links or creating infoboxes. . . it's the kindness of others, who knew Fandom, that helped me get to a state where I could admin a wiki and do a lot of the work needed to bring it up to scratch.

You say they're "extremely fine" editors, so why not reach out to the most promising one, and then promote them to admin, while making yourself available to them to answer questions, explain certain features, and let them maybe trial-and-error (as everything can be reverted).

You might be surprised how quick they learn.
