Sooo, I got hired into electrical design back in 2021. It took 4 months for them to offer me the interview and then another 5 months before I started. This is most people's experience with getting a job here minus some very select positions. We are doing the major hiring push, but, like was mentioned above the majority are in the yard. Unless you come with some serious experience and some rather specific experience at that, do not expect to come in as a designer, and even less so into detail planning. Most planners I know moved within the company. I too have a degree and didn't start at the bottom tier of the design tree, but, not very far from it.. raises come quick the first 3 years and no matter how much you think you learned going to school, you'll realize you don't know jack shit about designing the stuff we do.

My advice would be to apply for a draftsman-learner position to get your foot in the door. If you get in you can always move up ahead or schedule.
