For instance:
It requires a _____ level of understanding to work on X,Y and Z.
I'm looking for a word that is slightly less than in-depth but more than normal. It is to be used in a work/business setting.
A certain level seems ambiguous.
A substantial level sounds odd.
A moderate level appears average.
Any other suitable words other than basic, intermediate and advanced level?
Is level of limiting the choice of word?

You've got a really wide range of adjectives to work with there, depending on whether you're willing to paraphrase a little.
Since we're talking about comprehension of a subject you could say:
A highly familiar level of understanding...
An adept level of understanding to work on...
A strong grasp of the concept of...
This work requires an existing level of insight...
It will require a fair degree of expertise to work on.... (where expertise can be modified with 'a high amount', 'a moderate amount', etc.)
