Companies should prioritize occupational health and safety to achieve high performance levels. This research study aimed to assess the influence of engagement on job satisfaction among workers in a metalworking company in Lima, Peru. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire S10/12 were used to gather data. Additionally, information on socio-labor variables was also collected. A non-experimental, cross-sectional design with explanatory scope and a quantitative approach was applied to a census sample of 74 workers. A PLS-SEM model was used for analysis. The findings indicate that: 1) the UWES-9 scale is reliable and valid for measuring the engagement construct in the metalworking sector, 2) the S10/12 scale is reliable and valid for measuring the job satisfaction construct in the metalworking sector, and 3) engagement has a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction among workers in metalworking companies.
