Two years after his promotion as a battalion commander, Hamim was named as the commander of East Jakarta Military District on 4 July 2012. He was later replaced on 6 November 2013 and was transferred to the Indonesian Military Academy as the head of the social and linguistics department on 23 September 2014.

On 1 April 2021, Hamim was installed as the chief of staff of the Merauke military region. 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. After the meeting's recording was publicized to the media, Hamim was dismissed from his post as chief of staff. The dismissal was made official through a decree dated 30 December 2021. He officially handed over his post to the new officeholder in early February 2022.

Upon his dismissal from the post, Hamim was named as the Secretary of the Army Information Services. Less than three months later, on 29 July 2022, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces named him as the Chief of the Army Information Services, a position commonly known as the army spokesperson. He was installed for the position on 3 September 2022 and was promoted to brigadier general on 14 October 2022.

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.

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.
