The former Carlton and Geelong player held a variety of roles in his time at the Eagles, including being the club’s contested ball coordinator during its most recent flag-winning season.
"Adrian has a wealth of coaching knowledge, including working as part of the Eagles' premiership coaching team in 2018," Hawthorn head of football Rob McCartney said.
"He is a highly accomplished coach, with a proven ability to develop and nurture young talent which will be pivotal as our club continues to transition through this stage of on-field growth."
Hickmott will officially start at the Hawks when pre-season training commences in November.
