single-shot interviews

outside broadcasting

Explanation:
EB stands for 'Elektronische Berichterstattung' (originally to distinguish a team equipped with electronic video equipment from a team with 'traditional' filming material). An "EB-Team" (in Germany) is the team that is deployed to handle outside (i.e. outside of the studio) (video) filming and typically consists of a camera person and a technician, sometimes supplemented by a sound engineer, a camera assistant, lighting technicians, a producer etc.

As your man worked as a 'transmission engineer' it is probably appropriate to describe his role as a 'member of outside broadcasting teams'

Accordingly, your sentence could be translated along the lines of:

"Mr XXX was deployed as camera man[?]/transmission engineer[?] in outside broadcasting teams, live studio productions and on location."

[?] = depends on the context.
