After graduating from the Indonesian Military Academy, Hamim was posted as a platoon commander in the 3rd Air Defense Artillery Battalion. He was then transferred to the Special Forces Command after undergoing commando training and served in the command's operational staff. He later returned to the 3rd Air Defense Artillery Battalion as a junior officer after several years in the Special Forces Command. He was then ordered to attend a battery commander preparation course for several months in 2000 before serving as a battery commander in the battalion. He was moved to head the battalion's operational section for a few months. [1]

Following his service in the battalion, Hamim was moved to the army artillery center, where he was entrusted to lead the air defense research and development section. During this period, he also briefly headed the intelligence section of an air defense regiment. He was later transferred to Jakarta, where he became the commander of a guided missile detachment stationed there. He returned to the army air defense center several years later and held several administrative offices until 2010.

On 1 April 2021, Hamim was installed as the chief of staff of the Merauke military region. [9] While serving as the chief of staff, Hamim attended an armed forces teleconference at the end of 2021. During the teleconference, an incident occurred where Hamim was scolded by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Andika Perkasa, for using his phone and not listening to the commander-in-chief's speech. [10] After the meeting's recording was publicized to the media, Hamim was dismissed from his post as chief of staff. [11] The dismissal was made official through a decree dated 30 December 2021. [12] He officially handed over his post to the new officeholder in early February 2022. [13]

Upon his dismissal from the post, Hamim was named as the Secretary of the Army Information Services.

[15] He was installed for the position on 3 September 2022 [16] and was promoted to brigadier general on 14 October 2022. [17]

In his capacity as the head of the army's information center, Hamim was tasked to lead the effort of the army's information center to recover the army's Twitter account, which had been hacked since August. The information center managed to recover the account in mid-September. In response to the hacking incident, Hamim announced that the army would improve their cyber security. [18]

Hamim handed over his position as the Chief of the Army Information Services on 31 October 2023 to Kristomei Sianturi and became the expert staff for environment to the army chief of staff.
